Box it up
If your budget is a little smaller, try
putting together several things in a
box for your child to enjoy. Create
a movie box with a movie or video
rental gift card, candy, popcorn, and a
warm blanket so the family can enjoy
a movie night at home. Combine art
supplies, a sketch book, paints, and
other craft items for an art box. You
could also put together a cooking
box, ingredients for homemade
playdough with cookie cutters, or a
gardening box with seeds, gardening
gloves and tools. Get creative and
combine your child’s interests to put
together a customized box.
Adventure gifts
For the adventurous child, look
for experience gifts that give them
a chance to try something they
wouldn’t normally get to do. Some
ideas could include horseback riding,
fishing, camping, rock climbing,
indoor skydiving, or a day at a
gym with an obstacle course or
trampolines.
