Thoughtful Gifts for Busy Moms and Dads
Here are some thoughtful gift ideas you may not of have considered before:
A chest freezer may not be romantic but it can save busy moms and dads a lot of time and money. They can simply repackage the bargain-sized packages into single meal sized packages using a vacuum-sealing machine. The savings are huge especially when purchasing meat. And when your busy mom or dad cooks, it’s just as easy to make two dinners and freeze one for later. Another great help would be a Slow Cooker and Slow Cooker Cookbook.
Create a voucher for a cooking club made of four friends with similar family size and tastes. Once every three months, each person shops for enough groceries to make a favorite dinner recipe – one to keep and three to share – totaling 4 dinners apiece. Meet at a designated kitchen to assemble dinners together and share in the clean up. Not only is it a fun afternoon of friends being together, but it also creates four easy, diverse dinners for each person to take home, plus a collection of new recipes.
