Our Relief Society gives a pair of baby socks with a comment, "Welcome Little One!  May your life be filled with the blessings that come from walking in righteousness.  Love, The ____ Ward Relief Society Presidency."  This is on an approximately 3"x2" cardstock. The text has been done on a computer and they've added a blue footprint stamp (I suppose it's pink for girls). They've added a hole in the top right corner and have tied a ribbon to it. Then the card was attached to the cute little socks, 2 pair.  (Idea by Wendy Hickman)



Birthday and Gift Ideas from the Relief Society
High Tea with Emma
Mad Hatter Tea Party
Our program's theme was: "How to be an 8 cow woman" based on the Johnny Lingo movie (the old one).  We had the movie first, then two speakers: "Holy Cow"- on how to become more spiritual and "Mad Cow"- on how to handle life's stresses without going crazy. They were excellent.  Then we had our luncheon: Hawaiian Haystacks, tropical slush, and birthday cake for dessert. We decorated everything luau style to fit the theme. Our tables were decorated in pink, yellow, purple table cloths with a short glass vase with tropical flowers. We had wall decorations too.  Everything was great, the speakers, the food and the attendance. (Credit Unknown)

For Christmas gifts we always give the sister's their manual for next year with their name on it and a list of the lessons and dates for the upcoming year. Inside we also put a bookmark with a quote, or our goal for the next year, or one year we individualized them and put their goal as a visiting teacher on the bookmark. We also do a treat of some sort - last year we did a bag of M&M's with the story of the true meaning of Christmas using M&M's.  The year before it was a plastic gift bag with chocolate covered popcorn, etc. We hand the books out to the sisters at church and any that don't come for two weeks we divide those up and go with the visiting teaching supervisors and take them to their house. This way we are sure that every sister in the ward gets a contact during the month of December. (Kellie Lyon)

In celebration of Valentine's Day, we are making aprons for all the sisters in the ward. We are a small ward, so it's not too taxing to make simple aprons. The children are going to decorate them with stenciled hearts and their signatures. With leftover material from other projects and fabric paints we have on hand, this activity is costing us $0 to do.

7 keys to being a successful leader
Calling Request Form for a Relief Society Teacher - This form is used to call new teachers to Relief Society.  Just give this form to the bishop so he can review their new responsibilities with them. 
E-Vite - If you have the e-mail addresses of your sisters, this is a free service that allows you to create a customized e-mail to send reminders for different events...you could even send them to your presidency to remind them of meetings...etc.
Here's an idea I've used in every organization where I've served, whenever I have a presidency meeting. I print out the agenda with the items that need to be discussed so we know how to divide our time and then at the bottom of the paper I write "ACTION ITEMS" where everyone can write down what they specifically need to do after the meeting. That way they'll remember details and what their stewardship is. It also helps to divide labor and help account for what happened at the meeting next time you get together. (Trina Boice)

Updates - Each ward I've lived in does this a little different but one Relief Society Presidency Member sent around a clipboard asking for sisters e-mail addresses.  Then they e-mail a newsletter each week, with talk highlights (very brief), new callings, announcements, birthdays, and all that happened in sacrament meeting (new callings, who spoke, etc.), Sunday school and Relief Society. It was great because if you missed church, you still knew what was going on and felt included on what was going on.
