We all know how much kids love toys, and as parents we’re used to putting tonnes of them away all the time and finding space for the ever growing supply. So if you fancy doing something a little different, or are just looking for extra things to buy for Christmas or your child’s birthday here are some alternatives.
A Day Out
Instead of a physical gift, why not treat them out to a day out instead? Is there a zoo, water park, theme park, concert, sporting event or other kind of attraction they've been asking to go to? If it was a trip to the zoo for example, you could wrap up the ticket along with a stuffed animal that they will be seeing while they're there. A day out gives you fun family bonding time while allowing them to do something they genuinely wanted to do. It could be for now, or any date in the future giving them something to look forward to.
