Because money really *doesn’t* buy happiness.
Mom always says it’s the thought that counts...and she’s right: The holidays don’t (and shouldn’t) have to require spending serious $$$. This year, instead of blowing your bucks on Black Friday, give the greatest gift of all: Y-O-U! Whether it’s spending time with Sis or bonding with your bestie, these sweet sentiments are sure to be a heartfelt hit. Now that’s the real holiday spirit.

Ask him to teach you something handy and helpful, like how to change a tire or hang a frame (that’s actually straight and secure). Ask questions, offer up some oohs and aahs, and throw in an “Is there anything you can’t do, Dad?” Your interest and admiration will make his year—and you’ll gain some new skills along the way.
