From a very young age, I was very conscious of the need to impart to friends and family members meaningful, if simple, gifts, particularly for the holidays. I have always delighted in seeing the reactions of the receivers as they open my gifts. But in this economy, we unfortunately cannot lavish the same kinds of gifts on our loved ones. That means, of course, that we have to get creative! Don't worry about impressing people or making sure their every desire is met. Instead, pour all your love into your holiday gifting, and for the people that really care, that will always be enough.First, you will want to consider each person individually. You would do this anyway, but instead of thinking only of what they want, you should consider what they need. For example, you can spread holiday cheer to elderly neighbors, parents, and grandparents by raking leaves, shoveling snow, doing laundry, or bringing over dinners. These gestures are tremendously helpful and truly convey your concern for those close to you.Second, don't be afraid to use your own two hands and some inexpensive craft supplies. For friends, roommates, and others whose company you enjoy often, you can have a great time...more
