Like the title says, what are you giving this year? This year with my wife in school full time, we are back to one income, so $$$ is a bit tight for christmas. We had to get a bit creative this year. It wound up being a 5 below year. We avoided toys and electronics for the kids and focused more on art/creative toys, imaginative playthings, board games, and books. It's okay, they have enough stuff anyway, plus grandma already was all over buying them nintendo switch games. The highlights this year-
Youngest(5)- Tag leap reader kit plus 10 books, hungry hungry hippos, Mrs potato head, Minnie mouse canvas kit,
Middle(6)- King dedede amiibo, toy story book collection, super mario world adventures(comic collection from nintendo power,) cappy plushie.(she's a daddy's girl, she loves nintendo characters and games!).
Oldest(8) - Microscope, magnet building tiles, how to draw comics book, the new dog man graphic novel, deluxe art kit.
Parents- had to get creative here, my dad had open heart surgery recently, so I am making a batch of low sodium chicken jambalaya for them with quinoa instead of rice. Lots of veggies, good stuff.
Grandmother- Yankee candle
Sister- Michael's gift card
Wife- nothing. She wants nothing, I want the same from her. We can buy ourselves presents this tax season.
How about you?
Silly me, they are also getting pet gerbils this year as well.
