20.) Give errands as gifts

Another unique gift you can give is when you volunteer to do errands for them for a week or a month. Not just your ordinary errands but errands that you hate. Errands that they know you hate. Or perhaps you could give a promise like loosing 10 lbs. within a month, or going to them gym every day. Your "errands gifts" must have an alternative. That is if you do not comply with them you are bound to give something else like a physical object. Be creative with your approach. You can make coupons using art papers or you could use your computer to make and print one. Your "errand coupon" could say "This entitles bearer to have the undersigned clean his car for 1 week" Or "This promise coupon is proof that the undersigned will go to the gym everyday or else he will buy bearer a new T.V set." It could be about anything. What is important is that you exercise your creativity in going about it.

So that's it folks. The bottom line is whatever you feel that expresses your love that is what you should give. Just be creative on what to give and how to give it. And always remember what Albert Einstein said about imagination "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
