Lights are being hung, halls are being decked, and Mommas (& dadas) are working like elves to make this season merry and oh so bright!
To help you with your list this year, I thought I’d share how we Gift in our home....
In our home, we do the 4 Gift Method Of Giving to our little sugarplums!
Each little receives 4 presents from Mom & Dad on Christmas morning...something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.
AND...Santa brings each child a large gift and fills their stockings (stocking post coming later)!
It’s simple and meaningful and it works for us.
- Something they WANT: this is a fun gift. Something they asked for...or something you know will bring a HUGE smile to their face. For us...it’s a glow in the dark race track, princess dresses, and shimmeez because who doesn’t love two-toned color changing plushies that are covered in sequin!
- Something they NEED: this is something practical...whatever that may be. It could be anything your little one needs! For us....it’s undies Don’t think it can get more practical than that. 😉
- Something to WEAR: this can be clothing, accessories, hats, shoes, backpack, etc. For us....it’s Rainboots!
- Something to READ: this is always my favorite...books! I try to find interactive books that go with what they are into right now. Usborne has a FABULOUS selection of interactive and engaging books and the Dino Sports Series are favorites in our home!
I love this method of gift giving. For us, it brings a sense of intention...each gift has to be thoughtful, since you are only giving 4!
Hope you all have yourselves a merry little Christmas!!!
***Santa always brings an unwrapped big gift and fills the stockings. This year he is bring Drew a bike and the girls are getting bitty baby dolls!
