Definitely go for something that involves time and not money - the babysitting while they go out is a great idea (unless that's something that you do regularly anyway). You get to spend time with the grandchildren and they get some adult time together. Win-win.
Offer to cook a meal for them, or to take their car through the car wash once a month.
Or (tongue in cheek here) offer to de-clutter her wardrobe, if she has so much!
What do you think about university?
Do you like a routine to your day or week, or are you someone who prefers to be spontaneous?
