Gifts for the Elderly

--by aurelia, posted Nov 19, 2008

I came across small single-serving-sized bags of Jelly Beans in the store. My daughter is older and no longer will share treats with her classmates and that is what these bags were intended for. I came up with the idea of still sharing, but with the elderly. So I bought the bag of jelly beans. Because they are individually wrapped, it'll be easy to share with folks at the nursing home.

Now, my daughter is making spring flowers and bunnies on cards. We will attach bags of jelly beans to the cards and go hand them out on Saturday or Sunday. It cost me less than $3 dollars and will make over 25 people happy.
