[quote=Anonymous]I’m super-practical: start a savings account for each DC and add a modest amount or minimum like $200. Give them modest gift cards for Target, like $25 -$50. Shop with DC early in the year or bring the cards along next time you shop. Think of a “family” gift you’d like or would all enjoy/use. Discuss with DC of there’s something special that you all could buy or do together. Past examples from my house included a gumball machine on a stand, a portable fire pit, way back when, a Wii. Bank the test and have fun planning maybe a family trip or a long weekend away - doesn’t have to be elaborate-but make sure you treat yourselves to a dinner out or room service and then you tell the grandparents and DC that this is part of the gift from the grandparents. Take photos and share w the grandparents when you do this. [/quote]
