Gift Suggestions

We all want gifts for our children that will benefit them. Yes, we want our child to have fun or be entertained from the gift, but ideally it would be sustainable, educational and budget friendly too. Sound impossible? What about giving a voucher for a special hike? Or better still, suggest it to the aunties and uncles for their next visit as a way to spend meaningful time with their niece or nephew. As a quality gift it provides all of the above, plus it builds memories too.

In our five lists for the diverse age groups, we have included such gifts, as well as some of the classics, plus a few other ideas that might give you some inspiration.

Whether it’s for Christmas, birthday or some other special occasion, you’ll find some useful tips in our list. We hope you will share a few of your own ideas in the comments section below.
