2. Set up a Flickr account to share photos with friends and loved ones near and far
3. Find out what kind of music they enjoy and compile a mix CD for them to enjoy
4. Help him/her to write and send letters to friends and loved ones who live far away
5. Find out what his/her favorite (types of) books are and check them out at the library and read to them
6. Set up a table outside (or somewhere to minimize cleanup) to finger paint
7. Create puppets out of small paper bags and put on a puppet show
8. Bring a mani/pedi set and offer to paint her nails
