Ideas for no cost gifts for couple with young children

[Namechangeymcnamechange11]

Sister and I agree no cost presents for adults and I'm stuck for ideas this year.
Have done babysitting vouchers, and a 'lucky dip' of free activities in our local area.

Any ideas that people have used please, if anyone does similar??

A "voucher" she can redeem for you to paint her nails, help with DIY/decorating or cleaning her oven or something? Or if you have a recipe you're shit hot at, maybe a voucher so she can redeem that. Would cost ingredients though I guess at a later date.

Cook and deliver a meal? ( relatively low cost)
Movie night of her choice at your house
Host a 'bring your own' party at your house for her and family/friends
A heartfelt letter or poem about her
Photos

Has she got a celebrity that she loves? You could tweet them and see if you can get a signed photo (or is that a bit old school?!)

Interview her kids and your parents and her husband about her and film it. Get them to tell you their memories with her and how great she is

I would always want more babysitting vouchers from my siblings!

Or help her have a wardrobe review/clear out? Do you sew? Take in/repair things? A days deep cleaning of her house/car? Or a days gardening/painting whatever?

Do the babysitting vouchers again.

Your gift doesn't need to be unique and life changing, it needs to be something they genuinely want.

Parents always want babysitters!!

Do babysitting vouchers! I would love baby sitting vouchers... include daytime ones if you want to mix it up!

Babysitting, dear god, definitely babysitting. I would weep tears of pure joy if someone offered to babysit for us [projecting]

Absolutely do the babysitting. Offer an overnight babysitting voucher and it’ll go down in history as the Best Gift Ever.

Early present - arrange a date , take the small children for a day and if feasible overnight to let them have a free day for shopping , pub meal, dinner , whatever they chose .

You could help the DC make the DParents a present ? ( Bake and ice biscuits maybe)

Cleaning cleaning cleaning cleaning cleaning!

Windows
Oven
Ironing

Or decorating?

I made my family a jar of positives for Xmas.
I got 30 plain business card sized pieces of paper and wrote different positive things to do, say, or think about. They all went in a nice jar. E.g. meditate for 5 minutes on a lovely day you had. Pay someone you don’t know a compliment.
Each day of the month of Jan they could choose one at random and try to do it.
Don’t know if they did it every day but I thought it was a nice gift.
You can personalise it as much as you wish.

Can’t have too many babysitting vouchers

If they have a garden a voucher to tidy it up in the spring time ready for summer. As pps have said cleaning and ironing vouchers or a voucher for a home cooked meal.

Thanks everyone. I shall do the babysitting vouchers again and something else.

Esp. if they have poor sleepers and it's feasible, ditto to having the wee ones for a day and night - allowing parents to have a peaceful day and evening, unbroken night, and a good lie in.

Not no cost, but in the past I've given dd and Sil dinner, B and B in a nice hotel, while we moved in and babysat.
Planning on offering same for SiL's birthday soon.
