Top 5 Gifts for the Family This Christmas
Although it’s fun for everyone to get their own gifts at Christmas, some gifts have a unique way of bringing the family together in the true Christmas spirit. Here are a few unique family gifts that could do just that for you and your loved ones.
Sponsor a Child, Animal or Cause
Instead of buying gifts for each other this Christmas season, as a family you can give a gift to help others in need. You can sponsor children in many different countries by sending in a one time donation or agreeing to sponsor them on a long term benefit. If you’d like to help out more locally, donate to toy drives, animal shelters or any other non-profit organization.
Take a Vacation or Stay in a Hotel
Taking a vacation is always exciting. While toys and clothes may get lost over time, memories never do. If taking a long vacation is not in your budget, you can visit a nearby town or even stay in your own town, but at a hotel. Your family can check out the pool, or even order room service and watch movies. A change of environment is sometimes all the vacation you need.
Take a Tour
Take a train, bus or boat tour of your area. You do not have to travel far from home but you can see your city in a whole new way. If you are willing to brave the weather, go for a hike and have a Christmas day picnic. For a more economic option, go to your local museums or historic sites and ask for guided tours.
Family Coupons
Have each family member write up five things they would like someone to do for them such as washing dishes, room cleaning, back rub, a one hour nap with no interruptions or washing the car. Each person puts their coupons into a hat and each family member pulls out five different ones. Instead of gifts, each person will have to do what the coupons says.
Language Class
Sign up for a language class as a family. Not only will you learn together, but you will also have built in study buddies ready to help and someone to practice with. If languages aren’t your thing, you can try boxing, swim lessons, art classes or anything else that interests you as a family.
Not all family gifts have to be something you buy or something that can be held in a box. There are many gifts that will last a lifetime and don’t cost a thing. Making family memories is one gift you know that no one else will have.
