We have really gotten into the experience gifts. With the hustle and bustle of life it's great to spend time doing something together with the family and creating memories. Teaching kids young to enjoy the little things.
Gifts for mom:
Peace and Quiet
Clean house
Manicure, Pedicure, Facial, Massage, etc.
Someone else handle dinner : )
One of my favorite stores for gifts is Altar'd State. They have so many gifts.
Support and shop local and small business this holiday season. It's been a rough year all around and these local shops need the love and support. I know a lot of Amazon is on this list but please if you're able to, I highly encourage everyone to shop their local stores, local yoga and fitness studios, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues.
Remember to take time out for yourself too. If you don't already have holiday traditions start something new. Give to other's if you're able to.
One of my daughter's cheerleading team's we are adopting a family this season and buying their Christmas list. The kids will help wrap all the gifts. This is such a great way to help teach kids the gift of giving.
