Teens Give – A Gift Everyone Can Afford to Give
Quick think. What do teens give, what is the best gift everyone can afford to give at the last minute.
Christmas came so fast this year that many of you haven’t been shopping yet. It’s not too late. Being a teen you are probably wondering what you can do. What is the best gift to give now that it is Christmas Eve. The economy had a bad hit right before Christmas. Some of your parents lost their jobs. The job you thought you were going to have during holidays to make some extra Christmas money wasn’t available because everyone is cutting back. Or maybe it just snuck up on you and you still need ideas for a gift. What is the special gift everyone (including you) can afford to give.
You could go to Amazon.com, and search frantically in the top 10 picks.
With a few clicks a gift will be on it’s way. But it will be late and you will have to put a “It’s on the way” card under the Christmas tree. Option number two – you could go out in the hustle bustle of the late shoppers and try to find something in the stores that they haven’t sold out of yet and fight the person next to you for it. OR …
Teens listen up! There is a third option. The best gift everyone can afford to give at anytime is your love, your time, your self. This is the best gift ever because it is alive, it constantly changes and it keeps giving.
Here’s three suggestions to start your creative juices flowing.
-
Offer to do chores around the house, do the laundry or some yard work. Everyone is always looking for more time to be able to get other things done.
-
Prepare a meal or a snack and sit down with that person and talk about them. Let them tell you their likes, dislikes or their favorite experiences. If you listen closely, you may even pick up nuggets of wisdom from them.
-
Tell them how much you love them and how special they are to you. Tell them face to face or write a poem, make up a song or record it on a DVD.
Words and actions of love speak loud and clear. When all other gifts have been long gone your words of love will keep on speaking. You have something very special to give. Teens, give of yourselves. It’s a gift everyone can afford to give. It’s the best gift to give at anytime and anywhere that will last a lifetime.
