[quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thanks for the great and kind ideas. I got an assortment of gift cards for Barnes & Noble, Starbucks & a local sporting goods store where I know they go a lot. I called the store manager and he set up a "family account" with $ in it, so next time they need gear, maybe they will get something nice. I also got them some very generic boxes of candy to celebrate the season. My uncle used to do this and I felt so grown up that he saw me as someone who was mature enough for candy with a map inside. :) When I gave it my friend, she explained how there is holiday drama (not on her end) and the kids are upset. Listening between the lines, I see how much she loves and cares for them (but doesn't want to replace their mom) and I felt really good about making their week a little nicer. I told her to either give it to them at Christmas, or when she thinks they need a pick-me-up any time between now and then. (See: candy).[/quote]
