The last time we went to the forest, I picked up some branches to make the shape of a tree as an Advent calendar. In addition to that, I needed to buy string, and look for the drill that is in the garage. But a few days later I went to the supermarket and I found the Christmas tree ready! Just to take it out of the bag, hang it on the wall and add the decoration. So, I went to look for gifts and cards to put it all together.

Here are some gift ideas for the little ones at home. Note: gifts do not necessarily have to be material objects but also experiences that we can offer to them.

• A date alone with mom
• Visit a Christmas fair
• A date alone with dad
• Ice cream afternoon
• Go to the library (Freja loves it!)
• Go to the lake to see the ducks and swans (close to the nature)
• Take a picture with Santa Claus
• Decorate the Christmas tree
• Dance evening
• Christmas movie and popcorn evening
• Family camping (for my southern hemisphere friends ?)

The rest are gifts that I got in a dollar store. And if you don’t have children at home, you can do it for yourself or your partner.

Do you love the idea?
