I want to share a good idea with you - about presents that I made to my parents for the last New Year...
Ar first about the present for my father - I made a great many short-letters that said "I promise to wash up", "I promise to sleep today at home", "I promise to wash your shirts", "I promise to cook dinner for today", etc and put them all in a box, which presented to my father. Now, he shows me these short-letters and however I feel, I keep these promises. However, I take away all the short-letters which already were used... My father is very glad to have such a useful box with my promises!
For my mother I bought a great many little cards with different greetings and put them everywhere - from shoes to mincing machine! She is finding them so far...
