Momma

ere is an interesting take on the coupon idea. These days, for many of us, the scarcest resource is time. If you have a friend or relative who has a real lack of time, a great gift would be a coupon book of services that you could do for him or her.

With your home computer and printer, you can create an attractive coupon book gift that any time constrained person would be delighted to receive:

Here is an 8 step process for creating your own coupon book:

1. Make a list of things you know your friend or relative could use a hand with. Things like "pick up dry cleaning", "walk the dog", "take the kids to soccer practice" etc.
2. Also consider more unusual and fun things like "take you shopping", "take you out to lunch".
3. Type them all into your favorite word processing program, with spacing so that you will have 4 to 6 coupons per page.
4. Many word processing programs will allow you to arrange your text into two columns per page, add boxes around the text, add pictures and shading. Also be sure to use a fun font. Be creative!
5. Type "COUPON BOOK" in bold letters on the cover page.
6. Print out your coupons on fancy paper, and print the cover on heavier paper if you have it. Or
7. Take the pages to a copy shop and have them copied onto bright-colored paper.
8. Staple the coupons into a booklet.

Your friend or relative will remember your thoughtfulness every time they use one of their one of a kind coupons.
