This way I'll often be reminded of how considerate the childen are, and that'll make me happy." Liz Ann, who lives in Yuxi (玉溪), values the thought put into handmade gifts. "what I really like is when the kids make something for me themselves (like drawing a pretty, colorful picture) on which they have spent a lot of time." Liz Ann continues, "It doesn't really matter exactly what they do or get for me, but the enthusiasm that goes with the giving." Lastly, don't forget about simple gifts. Tersa, also from Taipei, says, "The best gift is a card that expresses one's sentiment. On top of that, they could also help me cook for a day."
