The GIft of Time Coupons

Is there a birthday or anniversary coming up in the near future? Think about giving the gift of time instead of a plastic toy that will only hold their attention for a few days or flowers that will wilt. Some people's love language is Quality Time and what better way to tell them that you love them than to make them some coupons so that they can ask for quality time when they need it? Determine in your head beforehand though that when they hand you the coupon you fulfill the request as soon as possible and cheerfully otherwise it is worthless.

Here are some ideas:
