Plant flowers rather than give a bunch of flowers
When did you last get your hands really dirty? As a child? Some things appeal to young and older people alike - particularly when they are in their own gardens. Visit your mum and help her with gardening or repotting plants for her balcony. You'll see how happy you make her and will also find out how to get sage to continue flowering and taste good all summer.

Without a profound change in the economy and lifestyles, we won't get through the 21st Century which is getting warmer and warmer. And that's what "Time rather than stuff" is all about: Changing our way of thinking. Changing our way of giving gifts.
