My kids favorite gifts are gift cirtificates, but not the kind you buy, I make them myself, for everything from me cleaning their room, to doing their chores, or droping everything and playing a game , no chore day, or special time with mom or dad, movie or game rentals....things like that....the first year I did it they used almost all of them over Christmas break...boy was I sick of them quick..lol....this year I'll put dates on them....good from...to...that kinda thing or good in January, etc....dd

That is a very cool idea. Mine are so young, though, they'd probably just eat them. :lol:
