Caring gifts to those that care for us! Cupsgiving!

Disability Support / by MistyMagic

...See more Caring gifts to those that care for us This post is part of Cupsgiving Week. Choosing a gift for your carer can be a thoughtful and meaningful gesture to show appreciation for their care and support. Here are some tips to help you select the perfect gift: 1. Consider Their Preferences * Pay Attention to Hobbies: Think about what they enjoy doing in their free time (e.g., gardening, cooking, reading, sports). * Ask Subtly: If you're unsure, you can ask casual questions about their likes and dislikes without revealing your intention. Ask those near to them for ideas. 2. Choose Something Meaningful * Personalized Gifts: Items like engraved keychains, custom mugs, or photo frames can add a personal touch. Remember they may need to be ordered in advance! * Handmade Gifts: If you enjoy crafting or making art, a handmade gift like a card, painting, or knitted item can be incredibly special. Again these take time so it’s important to plan your gift. But these I can vouch for. 3. Practical Items * Useful Gifts: A high-quality notebook, a nice pen, or something they can use daily in their work or leisure. * Relaxation Gifts: Think about self-care items like candles, bath products, or a gift card for a massage or spa day. * Disposable Gifts: Not as in throw-away but something that they can use and enjoy and appreciate and that won’t take up valuable space in the home. Cookies or sweets, chocolate luxury items. 4. Sentimental Options * Thank-You Letters: A heartfelt note expressing your gratitude can mean more than a material gift. * Memory Keepsakes: A small scrapbook or photo album highlighting meaningful moments you've shared. A framed photo too. 5. Experience-Based Gifts * Treat Them to an Experience: A voucher for their favorite restaurant, a cinema gift card, or a ticket to an event they’d enjoy. * Time Together: If possible, plan a simple outing like a coffee date or a park visit. Or organize a tea party in your room or even just a cup of coffee for 5 minutes rest together. 6. Budget-Friendly Ideas * Small Tokens: Flowers, a box of chocolates, or a thoughtful book can be perfect. * DIY Options: Create something with the resources you have—baked goods, a playlist of their favorite music, or a simple drawing or poem that you have taken the time to write for them. Perhaps make it funny or rhyming. 7. Accessibility and Delivery * Online Shopping: If mobility or time is a concern, many retailers offer gift wrapping and delivery services. * Help from Others: Ask a friend or family member for assistance if you need help purchasing or delivering the gift. 8. Show Appreciation in Words * Sometimes the best gift is simply taking the time to tell them "thank you" in a heartfelt way. Pair it with a small token to make it more memorable. Maybe even sing to them! By focusing on their preferences, adding a personal touch, and staying within your means, you can give a gift that will truly show how much you value their care. Now some questions for you! Let's pretend we are giving a gift to another person in the World of Cups or in particular the Disability Support Community:- * How do you choose a gift? * Who would you give a gift to? * What would you give them?

...See more My husband and I have been married for 14 years and we’ve been through a lot in that time. We have 2 kids with additional needs and life is busy and hard work. We live in a regional area and he travels 1.5hrs drive away to the city to his dream job. I work 2 casual jobs locally and do everything else for me and the kids. We had a big fight on the weekend (one of many) and I’m not sure if I can recover from it again. I have no family support I am exhausted and overwhelmed by the end of the day and feel so unappreciated. The only place I feel safe is in my bed on my side. On Saturday he took the kids out for a few hours and as soon as he got home he went straight to the bedroom and got into bed on my side of the bed without a word to me. I was annoyed as he didn’t communicate with me whatsoever about the outing or how he was feeling and just took over my safe space and expected me to take over care of the kids immediately as “he’d done it all day”. I did raise my voice which was not ok but I was so triggered that he completely ignored me and expected me to just take over while he relaxed in the only place I feel comfortable and safe in the house!! I have a lot of trauma around feeling safe as I was raised by a narcissistic mother and I’m doing a lot of work on healing, one of the ways is creating a safe space for myself, which I have explained to him. He never makes me feel heard or seen and therefore safe. He stayed in the bedroom for the next 4 hours and then when he emerged he screamed his head off at me for they way I spoke to him when he came home and went straight to the bedroom. He said he can do whatever he wants he doesn’t have to ask permission to rest. I apologised for the way I spoke but tried to explain why and he just shouted me down yelling about how I give him nothing and I’m always feeling sick or tired or going on about some problem he doesn’t want to hear about, that’s why he doesn’t listen, and that’s how he’ll continue. He said he wants to sleep in separate rooms and doesn’t want to talk about it has basically just ignored me since. I’m not sure what to do now. I’m so hurt and over being unseen, unheard and unappreciated for everything I do for my family. I’m not sure I can come back from this with him. He’s made it pretty clear that he doesn’t want anything else to do with me. I feel so alone. Any suggestions about what I should do next?
