Coupon book
Did you ever make a homemade coupon book for your parents while growing up? If so it was probably filled with things like: “Good for one mowed lawn”, “can be redeemed for a sink full of dishes”, etc. Though those are part of your common household duties now, there are still so many options to put in your coupon book. Things like: “I will go pick up dinner, no questions asked”, “you get to pick the movie tonight”, or even “good for one back rub”. The possibilities are endless on this one because you can list out all the things that they don’t like doing, and take on those responsibilities for them! As long as you have a pen, paper and a stapler, this one costs you nothing but time!

Homemade meal
