I have this cousin. She did something stupid and now shes pregnant now. I never have liked my cousin that much but she is family. She needs support and I feel like the rest of my family kind of abbandoned her. I don't have any money or anything really but I really want to give her something for christmas that will help her out. Problem is that I have nothing to give. Any sugestions?

babysitting vouchers or house cleaning vouchers for her to redeem with you when she's overwhelmed and tired

Maybe make a coupon book to give her. Have in there some coupons for things that you could help her out with and when she wants to redeem them, she just tears them out and gives them to you. Things like, offering to help with the baby shopping, a certain time or a day to do some cleaning around her house, when the baby is born, have a coupon to babysit for awhile so she can get out of the house. Have one too that you will come over to make her a meal one day or even prepare ahead of time meals for the whole day. Just be creative on this one!!

Vouchers for a shoulder to cry on! Everyone makes mistakes! Give her the gift of your time. She's going to have a hard time if she is going through a pregnancy alone, let her know you will help her as much as you can and then do it. Who knows maybe you will learn something from her mistake, mainly stay out of your boyfriends bed/back seat! Giving someone your time is the greatest thing you can give in this world of go, go, go!

Just write her a letter and tell her that you will stand behind her and help in any way that she wants you to help. I think the other people's idea about making babysitting vouchers are great ideas. You can include them in your letter. Just keep the dialogue going between you and her. That would be the best gift, knowing she has someone on her side. That is good of you.

Give her a book of coupons for "babysitting" Offer to help with the baby when she just needs a break. Believe me that will end up being the best gift ever when she is tired.

You dont have to break the bank to give someone a gift.
Give her someone small, something that is meaningfull and that she will love, even if its not something that will help her. the idea of christmas is to give a gift and its the thought that counts as long as you give her something its better then nothin
Good Luck

I like Kathy G's suggestion best because it is pro-active, and immediate. After you open a dialog, and perhaps, re-establish a family relationship with her, then I'd offer to help out with the baby....
