Birthdays
My 12-year-old wanted to do something simpler, so asked her friends to only bring gifts that they didn't spend money on. They had such a good time opening the gifts together -- compilations of favorite jokes, poems written by guests, handmade jewelry (a great way to use up all those craft kits filling the closet), lists of recommended books (to check out from the library, of course), favorite recipes, packets of garden seeds. She felt especially loved, because the gifts represented time and thought, and the guests had their creativity appreciated. Now, I don't know if my 10-year-old son would groove on the idea, but it worked for her!On Umbra on kids' birthday parties posted 2 years, 2 months ago 15 Responses
