Do you impose frugality in gift giving?

* Wash their car once a week for a month

* Mow their lawn or weed their garden three times

* Do something using your specific skills -- massage? hair cut? manicure? drywall?

Fine idea!

Once I got a giftcard to a spa. I regifted it because I didn't want to spend any money on a gift, plus, I would never splurge on a spa anyways.
