Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re shopping for a child who has a lot of toys, it’s best to opt for a different gift category. The good news is there are plenty of options for great gifts that are not toys. Here are a few ideas to help you brainstorm:
Clothes
An experience (i.e. trip to the theater or museum)
A children’s magazine subscription
Classes (i.e. art, dance etc.)
A photo album with a couple of photos to get them started
Celebrating Christmas, when your child is old enough to appreciate the season, is so special. Here are a few age-appropriate activities you can try out with your little one to celebrate the holidays:
Do a festive craft
Bake and decorate Christmas cookie
Help them write a letter to Santa
Get outside and make snow angels
Read them a holiday story like The Night Before Christmas
Watch a toddler-friendly holiday movie like A Charlie Brown Christmas
The 4 gift rule is a gift-giving guideline that can be helpfu,l when doing holiday shopping for your children. The idea is to select four different gifts for your children that fall into each of the following categories:
Something they want
Something they need
Something to wear
Something to read
There is really no right or wrong way answer to this question. Some parents prefer to start buying baby stuff as soon as they find out they are expecting, while others prefer to wait a few months. Our only tip? Leave yourself enough time! It’s a good idea to have everything in place for the baby’s arrival by the time you’re about a month away from your due date. You won’t necessarily need everything as soon as your baby arrives home, but you’ll appreciate not having to run around buying baby gear, once you’re settled in at home. Start with the basics and then you can add additional items later.
Here are a few gift ideas you can opt for if your little ones don’t have anything specific on their wish list:
Get them something they need, whether it’s new clothes for school or a fresh set of sheets. Practical gifts are always a great option.
Gift them with a unique experience. This could be a ticket to an exciting destination, a trip to the museum or theater or an afternoon set aside to bake a holiday treat together.
