DAE sell custom gift baskets after a book club request?
My aunt runs a book club and always had trouble finding good gifts for members. I put together a few baskets with things like bookmarks, tea, and snacks that matched the book they were reading. Everyone liked them so much that I now get orders from other clubs in the area. Has anyone else found a side gig from helping out family or friends?

Helped my sister pack for a cross-country move as a one time thing. Ended up making a simple guide for her with what boxes to use and how to label them. Now I get paid to pack for people in my building, just using what I already know. It's mostly weekends, but it adds up.

That's a cool way to turn a favor into a business. I helped a friend with pet sitting a few times and now I get calls from their whole neighborhood. Those small jobs can really grow on you.

Once helped a friend move, now I'm everyone's go-to for heavy lifting.

Honestly, I see a downside here everyone misses. It's not just your time or gas money, it's the wear on your body. People never think about how sore you get the next day. You end up with a bad back before you know it. I learned the hard way you have to say no early or they'll always expect it. Otherwise you're just the free muscle they can call anytime.
