Living on a fixed income?
Is your budget streched to the MAX with no money left for Christmas gifts?
Then why not give the best gift of all -- "your time"!
With most Boomers usually having more time than money, some ideas for giving a gift of your time are:
- Babysitting
- Addressing Christmas Cards
- Grocery Shopping
- Taking someone to the Doctor
- Cleaning their home
- Taking the grand kids for an entire weekend
And truth be told, most Boomers don't need any more clutter around their homes, so if you're trying to find a gift for your parents or older friends - do some of the above.
But if you feel like you just have to buy a gift for a Boomer, then send them some postage stamps! I swear my 84-year-old mom gets more excited about the latest postage stamp than a bouquet of flowers!
And they truly are the perfect gift -- everyone needs them, there are many designs to choose from, but one size fits all and they are easy to send.
