family coupons box
Coupons box
So in South Korea they have a long standing tradition of giving money for all kinds of occassions. One thing they do is put rolled money in a box and pack it with flowers.
Instead of money... create a coupons box
with 5-10 rolled up homemade coupons.
In a mini box like shown above.
Dont need actual flowers in it. Can be fake flowers or rolled paper that looks like flowers. Its homemade box
You could just put em in an envelope too. But the box idea seems a bit more like a gift. Your choice tho 😊.
A box can be recycled at Christmas as the coupon box.
When coupons are used up, or if transfered to an envelope after receiving the gift, put the coupon box with Christmas stuff so it can be filled again for next time. Not necessarily this Christmas nor necessarily to that reciever.

You could ask the person you are going to give the gift to, what things they wish they could get help with in daily life, around the house etc. And take those ideas into consideration. After they get the gift you could also ask what are some other ideas that could be good for coupons. Then add that to the family list in a wordprocessing master file to keep for future usage.
& update annually.
Clarification:
Where money is involved, the person who recieved the coupons as a gift, is the one to pay any costs associated, the gift giver is simply the one doing an errand. So note this on back of coupon. And that it is only valid for 1x usage, and coupon must be turned over to the orig gifter upon usage. (Only valid Jan to Dec coming year).
