Gifts outside of the box-from the Heart for Children

It is time for my annual list of gifts that come from the heart and not always the mall.

Children:

Share the gift of time and experiences. 

Summer or sports camp registration

A season pass to the zoo/museum


Special one on one day with grandparents

              Baking

              Sharing a hobby

              Manicure and lunch

Membership to the local YMCA

Coupon book for activities throughout the year: special one on one time, go out for ice cream, go bowling. The ideas are endless.

Indoor water park tickets

Music lessons

Magazines-We started with the Hello Baby magazine when the grandchildren were small and then age up appropriately. We are into Highlights now.

A box of dress-up clothes

Art supplies. Even pads of paper and new markers or tape. My grandsons spend hours creating with tape, paper, and markers.
