Often, beautifully-framed photographs of family are prized and treasured. How about a custom-made calendar with family pictures displayed for each month of the new year? Remember, it's the little things that count at the holidays. A perfect gift could be something made by you. How about a home-made greeting card with poetry you've created? Why not offer to clean and decorate your parent's living quarters and to cook their favorite foods. A little fuss goes a long way!

This will save you having to wait in long lines at the post office. (Some people may be put off by this method of gift-giving because it lacks a "personal" touch.)
