Day 8 of our Christmas Countdown: We know the panic is real—there are only a few shopping days left, and somehow, kids have a magical way of adding a new toy to their Santa list at the eleventh hour. But let’s take a deep breath and remember: The best gifts aren’t always the ones wrapped in shiny paper.
Instead of rushing to find that must-have item, remember the Tickle Me Elmo chaos?? Consider giving the gift of an experience? Here are a few ideas that will last longer than this season’s hottest toy: Plan a Holiday Activity: Think ice skating, building a snowman, or a cozy movie night with hot cocoa.
Create a Memory Jar: Write down favorite moments from the year or plans for things to do together in the new year—no batteries required!
Gift from the Heart: Purchase memberships online to fun places, we’re thinking: Museums, Amusement Parks, the Zoo, Aquarium…all places your grandkids have been begging to go!
What’s the most fun experience you’ve shared with loved ones during the holidays? Drop it in the comments, and let’s swap ideas for gifts that never sell out!
