This is not related to visiting teaching, nor to Young Women. But I thought it was a good place to share some of my favorite gift ideas, too. This is a ME PACK--a box of things to help someone have some personal relaxation, joy, etc. This is a sample that I assembled recently, a bunch of items with little notes attached. My co-workers helped me come up with ideas and one even donated the books.
-
Cards - Service is good for the soul.

Pot and flower seeds - Plant some more love.

Bath scrubber - Scrub away your stress.

Slippers - Slip into relaxation.

Journal and pen - Record some of your happiest moments each day.

Notepad - Your greatness has been noted.

Books - In my book, you're a great mom!

Bath stuff - Bathe in luxury and relaxation.

Word search book and pen - Search for some joy.

Coloring book and crayons - Color your life by spending some time with your favorite boy.

Photo album - Rejoice in memories.

Other ideas: microwave popcorn, homemade treats or mixes to make her own, a chick-flick, scented candles, relaxing music. Put it all in a box.

ME PACK - Keep this box filled with some of your favorite things and some simple pleasures. Every now and then, take some ME time!
