Outside of the Box Gift Ideas

Its official – Christmas is almost here! Are you ready to spread the Christmas cheer?

I am delighted to share with you, some fascinating and unusual gifts for the holiday season.

Keep in mind, some of the best gifts, are those that do not require a box for wrapping. Consider acts of service and kindness this holiday season.

1. Help a military family in need – you can pick the family and support their need by visiting https://www.operationhomefront.org/need/list
2. Volunteer at your local homeless shelter.
3. Date Night for the Overworked Parents – offer to watch your family, friend, or neighbor’s kids, allowing for the parents to get some R&R.
