❤️ Acts of Service & DIY Gifts

Thoughtful Gifts That Come From the Heart

Sometimes the most meaningful gifts don’t come wrapped in paper! These gestures may be simple, but they’re deeply personal and often unforgettable.

• Offer to tackle a home project or run errands for older parents or relatives

• Plan an at-home spa day filled with pampering and quality time

• Create a “coupon book” of acts of service they can redeem throughout the year

Hand-Embroidered Handkerchief 🧵

A hand-embroidered handkerchief is a timeless, sentimental gift that will remind them of you of every time they use it. Personalize it with initials, a meaningful word or quote, or a small icon that reflects their personality & interests like golf clubs, florals, music notes, horses, or anything special to them.

Materials needed:

• Plain cotton or linen handkerchief (If you’re feeling extra crafty, repurpose an old article of clothing for a zero-waste option.)

• Embroidery floss & needle

• Erasable fabric marker or pencil

• Embroidery hoop (optional, but helpful for tension)

🎓 Give an Experience

Shopping for someone who loves trying new things? Gift them a class! Whether it’s cooking, photography, fitness, or a creative hobby they’ve been wanting to explore, experiences often mean more than “stuff.”

Bonus tip: Take the class with them for some built-in quality time and shared memories. That way, it’s a gift for both of you.
