Inexpensive Christmas gifts that won’t disappoint

It’s that time of year again for holiday cheer and everyone is starting to think about presents, especially kids.  Many people this year are trying to keep their costs down but don’t want to disappoint their children.  Below is a list of gifts that are inexpensive and will be remembered long after the holidays are over.

Digital Scrapbooking – scrapbooking can open a whole treasure of creativity.  There are several inexpensive softwares packages available and some are even free.  This is a great way to remember your holidays and let your children create their own holiday pages.

Personalized Santa Letter – If your child still believes in Santa this is an original and memorable gift. These letters can bring not only joy but pride when they mention some achievement your child has had over the past year.  OriginalSantaMail.com also donates part of their proceeds to charity.

Magazine Subscriptions – Many magazines offer special rates for an annual subscription and quite a few offer additional gifts with your order.  Magazines last the whole year and it’s exciting for kids to get mail posted to them each month.  Popular Mechanics for Kids is both educational and fun.

Build a Bear – If you have one of these stores in your town they are an incredibly fun and a memorable experience.  In addition to picking your animal, you get to choose a name and get a birth certificate.  It’s a creative and fun fill experience for any child.

Live Butterfly Garden – Most children love animals and giving the Live Butterfly Garden is a great way to teach them about life and also provide a “pet”.  Raising the caterpillars to become butterflies teaches some science but keeps it still fascinating and fun.

Remember it’s not about the gift but the memories you make that will last a lifetime.  These are just a few suggestions that hopefully will create those lasting memories for you and your family.  Happy Holidays!
