When our kids were small, my in-laws would give us the money to buy Christmas gifts in their names. Since our kiddos already had so much stuff, we often put that toward family memberships to the children's museum, Zoo, Aquarium, or classes/camps our kids enjoyed. One Christmas, Grandma Billie paid for our daughter's first dance class. We wrapped a certificate to the local ballet studio together with a cute leotard, tights, and legwarmers for our budding ballerina. Dance soon became our daughter's passion, and she took classes all the way through high school, eventually taking part in competitive dance teams and performing nearly every part in the local Nutcracker production. We often joked that it was the "gift that kept on giving."
Another idea for your readers would be tickets to a regional ComicCon or Anime Convention. They're so much fun!
Oh, ComicCon or anime conventions! Great ideas! And so cool that your daughter's life-long passion for dance started with a gift of lessons. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Love this so much! Please post it every single December.
Two years down, many more to go! Glad you found it helpful!
What a fantastic list!
