Grandparents and presents go together like peanut butter and jelly, and honestly, we love how much our parents love our children. However, our play areas are already bursting at the seams, and with the holidays coming up, we're about to be inundated even more. So when the grandparents come a-calling for gift ideas, instead of sending them another toy list, ask them to give your kids the most precious present of all: TIME.
How? With this really sweet "Adventure Box."
For $19.99, this kit contains 30 wooden coins with 60 ideas on where to go on an "adventure" in the community. Kids simply pick a coin from the box, and grandparents and parents alike just go!
Ideas include nature trails, specialty shops, entertainment venues, and "everyday" places to visit.
Most of the activities are totally free, and kids will get so excited to see where the day will take them. It will absolutely make grandparent visits extra special, and grandma and grandpa will be sure to have a great time too.
To get the most "magic" out of it, kids can keep a little adventure travel journal.
Which really, when they are much older, will be a gift they didn't know they were giving themselves.
This year, leave the toys to Santa ...
And instead, help give a gift that is immeasurable in value.
