Let’s face it; your child doesn’t necessarily need another new toy for the holiday season. This year, have you considered switching it up to a more meaningful gift? MediRents has a few ideas for you to consider when it comes to meaningful gift giving. If you still want them to have a few toy type presents to open during the gift exchange, that’s great too. Adding meaningful gifts to your gift exchange will be memorable for years to come.
Meaningful gift giving for the holiday season:
- They’re favorite book signed every year by your child’s teacher. The book Oh the Places You Will Go is a popular choice for having as a keepsake. Start this tradition when their young and you can have it out after they graduate high school.
- Framed pennies from the birth year of everyone in your family. It is easy to find the pennies with the correct birth years and this is a cheap DIY project that is meaningful.
- There’s a first time for everything. Take your child to their first theater product, musical or play. It is a fun one on one experience for your child and this is a good way to introduce them to the arts.
- A set of letters for hard times. If your child is in college or they will be soon enough, write several “open when” letters for them during hard times. Some examples are: open when you’re sad, you need advice, or you need to know how much I love you.
- Home state wall art. This is a great gift for your child if they have moved for their first job or college. Find a map with your home state, cut it out, and put it in a clear frame.
Meaningful gifts are great for friends and family of any age. Sometimes it’s better to give them a gift that may not have cost too much, but it has more meaning than materialistic presents.
