For my brother most recently, we got him a gift card to a restaurant and told him he was to go with his wife and have a couples night out and we would watch their baby for them - so the gift was a night out WITH free competent babysitting. <br /><br />My nephew was recently baptized and I got him an inscribed photo album from Wendel August - I then filled it partway with letters of love and support from me, my husband and even my son (he put in stickers!:)) and allowed his mommy to fill up the rest as she saw fit. <br /><br />Another one I have done is to give a bed and breakfast weekend. This was pricey, but it was for my brother's wedding, and he has done a lot for me.<br /><br />This year's giant gift that will cover many holidays is also very pricey but really, a gift from the heart - I am taking my mom to Paris with me for a week. She has never been and the woman has gone to hell and back for me. This may be the only chance she will ever get to see the City of Lights. :)<br /><br />As far as little stuff goes, though, I love the basket idea. There was a time when my brother was always out and about, and I got him "a night in" - basically 3-4 videos, bag of popcorn and a quiet night.<br /><br />Thanks for the multitude of ideas, Steph! I love reading them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478986109512072949noreply@blogger.com
