First of all it's up to you how much time you spend on the booklets. It can be something as simple as stapling some colored craft paper together, or printing something more elaborate on your computer. If you're artistic, paint it or draw it. On each coupon you will be placing the gift of love. Things that are special to each person. But wait, don't do it unless your sincere. These coupons are to be used per on demand. That means whenever they choose to use them, you can't say NO. So be honest about what you are willing to do. Now, lets see some things that came be written on the coupons. Of course always remember you know that person better than me, so make them personal to your loved one.
Kids-
Your coupons for Kids can include thing such as:
Choosing the Videos on Friday night
Going out for Ice Cream
Trips to their favorite places
Sleepovers with their friends
You reading them a bedtime story
Special time with Mom & Dad
These are only but a few for kids. Like I said think about what's important to your kids and you'll get it right
For Husbands or Wives -
Your coupons for Husbands and Wives can include such things as:
A 1-hour massage
A romantic dinner totally prepared by you
A night away at a motel
Going out dancing
Cleaning the house for a week (don't write it unless you'll do it)
An at home Spa Treatment totally supplied by you
An hour to talk about nothing but their dreams and hopes for the future (yes, you need to really listen)
Well gain, it goes on and on. If you don't know by now what's important to him/her it's about time you learned!
Friends or Your Boss-
Your coupons for friends and bosses includes such things as:
Taking them out to a nice lunch
Helping them with a task or project they have been struggling with
A paid trip to a sporting event or concert

Make sure the coupons your write for friends and maybe your boss is appropriate for the amount of time you have
Mom and Dad-
Mowing their lawn
Doing a household project (something they always wanted but don't know how to do)
Maid service for a week (don't be shallow, do it yourself)
A special day out with your parents
Playing board games or watching a great movie together (Bring back the days when you were a kid, you will enjoy it as much as they do)
Cooking them a fancy dinner with all the trimmings (make sure you pay for the food)
There are so many you can do for your parents either as a couple or you can make up a special one for each. Take Dad fishing, and take Mom to get her nails done. I don't want to be sexist here. You can also take Mom fishing. The nail thing, well you know your Dad better than I do.
HINT: Put the coupon book in a really big box so their really surprised!
Well, there you have it the gift of Love and Your Time. In today's hectic world how very special to give a loved one or friend a gift that will always be remembered!
*Have a Blessed Christmas, and may God watch over you this coming Christmas and in the New Year.
