candlesbytammy1 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Here is a suggestion if the children are wanting to get mom or dad something with a personal touch. Sit down with the children and have them think of memories they have had with mom/dad. Ideas can be simple ones such as a certain meal they assited with, or a vacation, etc... After writing down all ideas, you can include some of your own, type them up. Print them on different colored paper and then have the kids cut them out in strips. Purchase an inexpensive jar and place a ribbon around the top. Fold the colored strips and place in jar. You now have a memory jar. Everyday mom/dad grabs a strip and reads it. Mom/dad have a smile and a memory that will last the whole day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

able Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 wow great idea...i would imagine you meant for young children...but i think this might be great for adults to do for the parents...now the hard thing would be convinceing my bros and sis's to go in and do it.

Florida Girl Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 This is off your topic but gave me a good idea for something else. This idea is great when someone retires also. Have everyone that comes to the retirement party or before put in there moment and thoughts. I am going to share this w/ my coworkers since we are getting ready to plan a retirement party.

arrowpolisher Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I love this idea for my parents. I could fill it out then ship to 1 sis. She can put hers in and ship to the other sis who lives by our parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
