Some people are aching to be asked to share of themselves.

They have stories to share; wisdom to give; experience and skills to pass along.

Instead of letting a parent or grandparent sadly give yet another gift card to add to the pile of gift cards, let them share of themselves: ask for time to record some family stories, for copies of special family photos, or ask for some lessons in their hobby or special area of skill.
