If you want to make them something small, make them mittens or gloves or something and if you just want to make them something nice and big, you can make them a sweater.
what you should do is create a scrap book of them of your best memories of them or the time life of their life or even of all the family saying messages to them. I did this for my mum and she started to cry non stop and it was the best present she received that christmas
you can make them breakfast on christmas or you can just cook their favorites here’s a link to a necklace i think it’s really pretty
How about personalizing coffee mugs?
Make them a “Date Night Basket”. Find 1 movie each that they like and burn onto a CD. Make a snack (see recipe below) and wrap in aluminum foil with a nice ribbon around it. Pop some popcorn and put into a pretty cellophane bag. Add a bottle of wine or sparkling grape/cider if they’re not drinkers. Throw in a couple of pairs of slippers and a throw blanket. Stuff it all into a basket or pretty bag with a care. And leave the house! It won’t cost much and will feel so special to them because they’ll get alone time with themselves and YOU will be the one responsible.
Meat & Cheese Stromboli
Ingredients
* 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (recommended: Pillsbury brand)
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or corn meal
* 1/4 pound sliced pepperoni, about 24 slices
* 6 slices provolone, deli sliced
* 6 slices Italian hot ham
* 8 slices Genoa salami
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
* 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
* 2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano or Romano
* 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Break open the tube of dough and remove it from container. Dust your hands and lightly coat the dough with flour or cornmeal the roll out onto work surface. Stretch out dough, gently spreading out the rectangle shape it has been formed into already. Cut the thin rectangular dough into 4 equal pieces, working across the dough: cut it in half and cut each half in half again. Cover each piece of dough with: 6 slices pepperoni, 1 1/2 slices cheese, 1 1/2 slices hot ham and 2 slices Genoa salami. Roll each piece on an angle from corner to corner making a long roll that is thicker in the middle and thinner on each end. Brush rolls with extra-virgin olive oil then mix sesame seeds, cheese and seasonings in a small cup, sprinkle and pat the mixture into the dough. Bake until evenly golden, 12 to 14 minutes then serve.
