Simple Christmas Shopping for Kids

Christmas shopping for kids

When Rick was a little boy, his Granny would take him to the dollar store at Christmas and let him pick whatever he wanted for each member of his family, one gift per person.

christmas tradition for Kids

This year we took Kenny & Addie and added it to our Christmas traditions.  They took a few dollars from their own piggy banks, and we let them pick whatever they wanted for each family member. We chose dollar tree, because everything really is a dollar there.

I love this tradition, because it teaches kids to think of others, it allows them freedom to choose the gifts themselves, and it is just plain hilarious what a 3 and 4 year old choose to give to their Grandpa, Nana, and Aunties.

From nail polish, to spray bottles, to Nemo placemats, we had all kinds of things in the basket!

    Ahhhhh! We started this a few yrs ago too! We do it a bit differently though. We have all the kids put their names in a hat…and then each draws out a name of a sibling….but of course doesn’t tell who they got. Then on Dec 23 or 24 we all go to Dollar Tree and each child spends only $2.00 on their designated person. For whatever reason this is one of our kids’ favorite Chridtmas traditions. The secretive aspect probably adds greatly to the fun. Some of the favorite gifts on Christmas Day are always these! 🙂
    The pics of your kids in this post are adorable, BTW!

      That sounds fun for sibling shopping! This year they are already getting plenty of gifts from their aunts and grandparents, so we didn’t have them buy for each other—but they’ll probably want to next year. I don’t know about waiting until Christmas Eve though!! Is it super busy then? or not really?

        Not really. We have a VERY low-stress, fun Christmas. The trip to Dollar Tree is full of lots of fun and laughter….and the secretive frenzy of wrapping when we get hone is worthy of video documentation. Doesn’t really matter when we go….it’s just that we started doing it really close to Christmas day…so we still do. 🙂
