Family Gift Idea

  • Send a ball through the mail, personalized with the family's name.
  • Photo blocks - whether it's the family pet or a favorite portrait. (Thanks to ParentHacks for this one.)
  • Gift certificate to play miniature golf
  • Holiday-themed (any holiday) plate sets. These can be upscale setsor cheap sets you find at the Dollar Store. For $25, my mom bought my family a complete set of plates, cups, saucers and bowls that look fantastic after 5 years!
  • Museum, park, botantical gardens, acquarium or zoo tickets or membership
  • Amusement park tickets or membership
  • Gift basket full of your favorite ice cream toppings
  • A DVD of a family films that's appropriate for all ages - Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the Christmas Story, or my favorite, Harvey
  • A photo album, preferably with some photos of their family and yours. Or, you could give a certificate to a portrait studio.
  • Long distance calling cards for family who lives away
  • Games. Check out GamerDad's Holiday Guide to find age-appropriate family video and board games.
