A gift your partner will love receiving. No cost or waste. Minutes to prepare.
Following up on my post yesterday about Buy Nothing Season, I came up with a gift idea that costs nothing, takes almost no time to prepare, and only uses a sheet of scrap paper. I don’t know about you, but I would love to receive it. I think it would build a relationship.
I doubt I came up with it. More likely I heard it a while ago and it popped into my head.
The gift
Take a piece of scrap paper. Divide it into twelve pieces. Write on each the following, or what’s appropriate to your relationship: “Good for one X within 24 hours of redeeming, no questions asked.”, where X can be
- Shoulder rub
- Full body massage
- Home-made dinner
- Listening to you in an argument without arguing back
- Evening alone
- Going with your pick of restaurant, movie, TV show, etc
etc.
I pick twelve pieces so your partner can redeem them on average monthly. They can give you this gift in return with their X‘s for you to redeem with them..
Cost: $0.
Time to make: a few minutes.
Waste: none
