With coupons, you have to follow the Pooh Principle: "Think, think, think." A good coupon says you know what the receiver loves or needs. Try to give something that requires your talents and that you won't regret. Here's a mix of coupons that would make me happy. Most won't even overly tax a kid's budget.
Good for...one drawing of anything you choose; one hour of garage-cleaning; one day of fishing lessons, plus picnic lunch; two hours of weeding next summer; one knitted pair of mittens, you pick the yarn; one hour of Hacky Sack training; one Siberian hamster, plus cage and food. Redeemable Monday.
