Do you have any suggestions for holiday gifts beyond toys, books, and clothing? - For Innovation
Answer: While children certainly enjoy traditional gifts, they also enjoy spending time with you and having your undivided attention during the holidays.
Consider giving each of your children several IOU cards as part of their gifts. Make them fancy so your children will recognize them as genuine commitments on your part. Here are a few suggestions:
-Write an IOU for an hour of playing games selected by your child.
-Write an IOU for lunch at the restaurant of his or her choice.
-Write an IOU for going to a bookstore together and buying a book.
-Write an IOU for attending an event (sports, music, play, movie) selected by your child.
