Hannah Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I've dropped hints that I'd like someone to do a month of meal planning and grocery shopping, but so far no-one seems to be falling for that. They don't have to cook it all, just do the planning and shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah CB Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 What about a really nice planner? I got myself an Erin Condren planner and I loved it so much I bought them for my mom, my daughter, and my sister for Christmas. Do you have a camera? Maybe it needs a pretty camera bag or a new lens? What about a good pair of sunglasses? I like the prior suggestion of a cashmere sweater. My mom told me a few years ago that she gets one every year when they go on sale at The Bay. I finally bought myself one when they went down to $69.99 and I love it. Do you vacation in warm places? A nice beach bag is fun to have. Maybe a thick beach towel, too. I've always wanted a pair of sheepskin slippers. Or moccasins. Something warm and wonderful to wear on my feet when it's cold. You'll have to report back and tell us what he got you :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) We don't have anybody local who could stay with the children overnight :( Because of the extent of our younger two boys' special needs, we typically hire a couple teenage guys (DD's friends) just to help DD16 with the boys so we can go out for even a few hours. So, three sitters for two boys. They are actually fantastic with our boys, but I'm not sure they're old enough that I would feel comfortable leaving them overnight with the kids (or that their mom would be comfortable with it -- and she's a great friend, but has five kids of her own, so I won't ask her to stay, lol). We have only one family member that lives within an hour of us (the rest are 10+ hours from us) and she has a farm she takes care of and can't be away from overnight. Trust me, I've thought about it :p Well a few gift cards for nice restaurants could be used later together. Mani/pedi gift card? Some sort of spa treatment? Someone to deep clean the house once or once a month, or do whatever tasks you don't like? Boy, if you could find someone to come in and fix healthy meals for a week, that would be nice! But who?
