Happy December! Today, we are continuing with part two of my 2019 gift guide, which follows the “rule” our family has adopted for Christmas gift giving: one gift they want, one gift they need, one gift to wear, and one gift to read. This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.
In our family, gifts they “need” are educational or experience based gifts. For infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, this is usually learning toys. For school-aged kids, it is activities based on their particular interests.
This year, I have a son that is about to turn four, and a son that is eight. My almost 4 year old enjoys puzzles and is learning his letters, so his gift will probably be an alphabet toy or game. My 8 year old loves science, and is showing an interest in cooking. So, I’m trying to decide between some sort of science kit, or cooking utensils and a cookbook.
Other ideas for gifts they need could be a journal, art supplies, sports equipment, or a new bike or scooter. (Don’t forget the helmet!)
