A calendar

Perfect for grandparents and older loved ones in your life.

You can also write in days you can take them grocery shopping, to church, or to an outing or event. Be sure you stick to it so that no one gets let down!

Stump / trash removal

If minimalism is important to you or your recipient, this is ideal for you. If you know there’s some work that needs done for them, or items that need hauled away (broken washing machines in the garage, old televisions, or shrubs or stumps that need removed, you can do that yourself, or hire a team.
