Tips for the adult child

• Take her to have her hair done. After its finished and you've paid for it spend some time with her having a cuppa or some lunch

• Cook her dinner or lunch or breakfast. Plan the menu, buy all the food, prepare and cook it all and then clean it all up.

• Go for a manicure/pedicure/massage/day spa experience with her.

• Take her to the movies. If your budget can't do that, hire a movie she would like to watch from the video store or library and watch it with her. If the budget is flush take her to a show or pay for her to go with someone.

• Write about your best childhood memories and put a photo of you two together with it.

• Instead of giving her a gift card take her shopping and enjoy the time with her. Don't nag her and complain all the time.

• Bake her a cake/biscuits/slice and go around and enjoy some with her over a cuppa.

• Do her gardening. Get her house cleaned.

• Get some professional photo portraits done with her. This is something you can all treasure for many years to come.

• Have some jewellery custom made for her
