We have a rule/policy/habit that once a family has 3 or more children, it is easiest for us to get something the whole family can enjoy together rather than individual gifts (unless the children are infants and unable to participate in the family gift). Here are some ideas for some family gifts.- Board games - preferably ones that span across age ranges such as Uno, Life or Charades for Kids. All of these allow everybody to have fun (even the parents!). Charades for Kids includes cards with pictures on them so the non-readers can still participate without knowing how to read.
- Night at a hotel - if you find a good deal at a fun hotel, this can be an affordable family gift. For the past two years, we've gotten my brothers' family a night at The Great Wolf Lodge which has an indoor waterpark so the kids are entertained throughout the stay.
- Movie packages - all movie theaters offer gift certificates that you can get to cover a movie for everyone plus some snacks.
- DVDs - Most kids and adults like to watch movies but picking ones that everyone likes can be tricky. Some DVDs that seem to please everyone at our house are School of Rock, Elf, and many musicals.
