At some point when budgeting for Christmas gifts for our friends and family I realized it is more cost effective and I can give better gifts if I buy a family gift. The problem can be coming up with a gift that everyone can enjoy. There are lots of options when you get to looking, though!
1. Family tent- for the outdoorsy family, there are tents that fit a variety of budgets
2. Outdoor projector- my family plans to gift two this season!
3. Food gift basket- fill with a good variety to fit all ages in the family
4. Hammock or hammocks- a great gift to share or get one for everyone in the family!
5. Fire pit- DIY with concrete or splurge on a metal one
6. Reindeer beverages- a cost effective and festive gift! Add Pom Pom noses, Google eyes, and pipe cleaner antlers to bottles or cans for a fun and inexpensive gift.
7. Themed gift basket- movie night, game night, etc.
8. Large personalized blanket- have photos printed or a last name added to a oversized throw for the family to share.
9. Photo calendar- save photos from your recipients Facebook or Instagram and have them printed on a calendar!
Whole family gifts are budget savers, space savers for your giftees, and allow for the gifter to give better presents! Think about what your family would like to receive and develop a plan for the loved ones on your list.
