What:Should I get A Family 5 For the 12 days of xmas?

Okai,so today me and my mom went to church. She had noticed a family that we haven’t seen before. We thought they might be checkin out the church or somthing and I suggested that we welcome them so they can feel a little more comfortable. Useally at church people wear dresses or a shirt or somthin nice. The family looked at little less fortunate,not that this is a bad thing. We sat behind them and welcomed them in,they told us they aren’t new,just haven’t been here in a while. Church started and I had got an idea. I have some nice church dresses I don’t really wear anymore and I wrote a note telling my mom about my idea to give them the clothes. She thought it was a really nice idea. But my mind went to thinking more on it. It’s gonna be Dec. Soon. When I was like,11 there was one Dec. where someone in our old ward had done this 12 days of christmas thing. From Dec. 13th to the 25th,every night these people would leave us gifts on our doorstep for xmas. It was really really sweet. And I have always wanted to do that for someone else. I told my mom about it and she was shocked because she had the same idea for it. So we talked to someone in the ward that handles with helping people and w/e and she is seting us up to do that. The only thing is,what kind of gifts do we give to a family for 12 days? I had an idea to like bake cookies or somthing. Any ideas of a gift(s) that would be suitable for a whole family of 5?

Thanks in advance!

I think this idea is so sweet of you. I dont think I’d give them your old clothes though. That might make it obvious that you think they are less fortunate. They may get offended. I’d hold off for a bit on that idea.Get to know them first, that way you can tell if the clothes are really needed or not. Anyways, I think baked goods are always good for everyone,especially for the holidays. It shows that you took the time and effort just for them. You could also do like a housewarming thing, with scented candles or even christmas ornaments or decorations for the holidays. Christmas is great for gift giving, and there are tons of ideas.Try and get to know them, and see what they like.Maybe you can find gifts that suit each person’s likes.
