[quote=Anonymous]I really stopped buying things throughout the year which was a way I used to get joy but I had to let that go!.... Now I only get my kids things that we actually need or that are very seasonal. That will not be out again when I need it...... I keep a running list and I provide that two family members who are looking for ideas... I also strongly encourage experience type gifts.... I've got several people on board that way.... We've gotten movie tickets, children's museum membership, horseback riding lessons, ski lessons and an art class... I always take pictures during the activity to send the person who gave it..... What they really like to see is the joy on a child's face and so letting them know how much that gift was. Loved and enjoyed. Keeps them doing it year after year. My kids have gotten older. I have also strongly encouraged magazine, subscriptions or book club subscriptions.... Kids get something in the mail every month and I send a picture of them reading it to the person who sent the subscription[/quote]
