was the groom coupon book from one of his friends? Yes, I agree that the coupon thing is a waste if it isn't designed specifically for an individual. I have thought about giving my parents sometime, not this year, a group of 12 coupons, good for 1 gourmet dinner per month. This way, I remember to invite them over on a specified day, and they enjoy a nice dinner, not worrying about making it, dishes, etc. Plus, my mom can't cook very well and she likes certain dishes that I make like chix chimichangas, tilipia, chix pasta, etc. A certificate for the diiner, along with the recipe would work well for them.

Oh, for those of you that are religious, my kids sometimes make a prayer boquet. We make a flower out of construction paper, and then they promise certain prayers said for the gift receiver. My m-I-law likes this a lot, and so does my hubby.

For my kids' teacher, She has a box full of treats to give to the kids for good behavior. Well, I am not really into all the candy the kids get, so I think we are going to make a box with the kids handprints from the class (12 kids) and fill it up with non-candy things that she can give out....pencils, erasers, etc. As a nun, she can't really have the regular teacher gifts, so I thought this might work. Any ideas of what else I can put in it besides candy?
