There are gifts which truly come from your heart and have no cash value.  However they are the most prescious for the recipient and sometimes  any sum of money can't replace these gifts.

You should stuy the person's life an try to find out what he or she needs. Maybe grandpa can't climb the ladder to prune his trees or it is simply difficult for him to bend down to those shrubs. Sometimes someone has broken the legs an lives in an apartment with a dog. Walking a dog can become a great concern for such person.

You should just think a bit and you can find many things to do which can become cashless gifts:
 
1. You can volunteer to work for a week at their favorite charity putting up signs, file in the office, call for donations. All the work you do will be valuable for the recipient.
   
2. If you know that your parents would like to go out somewhere for an evening or spend the weekend away and they are looking for a baby sitter they can rely on, you can come to their resque and let them enjoy their evening or weekend away. 

3. Weeding the garden is also a great gift which can put a smile on their face and the neighbors.

4. You can volunteer to take their dog for a walk every day for a period of time.

5. Propose your grandpa to wash an wax his car. Also you can hand scrub the wheels and polish the chrome.

6. Climb the ladder and prune the fruit trees. This a rather hard work but  you might get a fruit pie in the spring.

7. Everyone loves a good back rub or foot massage. Look for the lotion with their favorite scent.

8. For your beloved you can service a breakfast in bed for a week or every Sunday for a month.

9. Help your relatives clean up their garage and take things to local thrift store or to the dump.
