When gift giving becomes a "chore"or a "have to" perhaps it's time to rethink what you're giving and to whom. I love to both give and receive gifts of services. Each year as my birthday and Mother's Day approaches I ask my family to do something around the house for the day. It could be anything from mowing the backyard to dusting the China in the hutch or polishing the silverware. Any task that is helping out to make my life easier.
