Christmas is the time of love and charity and kindness and giving. It’s no wonder then that Christmas gifts are foremost in our minds whenever somebody mentions the festive season. How much to budget, where to shop, don’t the kids have enough junk already, will they feel unloved if they don’t get the latest craze advertised on TV? 

Whatever you decide, it’s probably a good idea to suggest that older children make gifts for the family. It’s creative, it’s fun, and it teaches them that you don’t always need to spend money in order to show love. Here are some ideas:

• A recipe box
• A hot chocolate set
• A jar of spice mix
• Christmas biscuits make a great gift, too!

 Out of time? Then simply browse:

• Gifts for kids
• Gifts for Dad
• Gifts for Mum

 Out of pocket? Sell last year’s unwanted gifts on Kidspot Market - no auction, no fees, it’s an online second-hand shop for parents. 

What are other parents giving their children this season? Find out on Kidspot Social - it’s where parents chat online.
