My oldest daughter (she's 20) found an old container in the attic with Lincoln Logs. She brought them downstairs & has played with them for the last week. She says they're nostalgic & a great stress reliever.
Love your energy and gift ideas! Last Christmas I gave my daughter in laws (I have 3 sons) a coupon I made that gave them a day off from cooking each month. I made a main dish, a salad and usually a dessert once a month to give them a break in their busy schedules. They loved it! Another year I bought small gift cards to various places to eat or shop- wrapped them up and let them randomly choose. We all enjoyed being surprised!
Grandparent Picture Calendar tip- We do this as well, since my Dad also doesn't need anything. All year long as I'm taking photos, I'll move good ones into a folder called "calendar" on my iPhone. Late November rolls around and I can upload that whole folder to Shutterfly for easy photo selection and placement. Saves me time trying to scroll through thousands of pictures of dogs, food, and screenshots!
So agree about the Shutterfly calendar gift idea. My daughter has been giving the grandparents a calendar every year for the past 15 years. She takes pictures throughout the year and gifts us with the calendar at Christmas. We never throw them away because they are keepsakes and too precious! Thank you for the gift ideas!
My 16yo nephew wanted to sell his Legos when he was 13, he started building with them again this year. I have saved all of his Legos over the years and totally agree with this being a timeless gift. Edited...OMG...you just mentioned meal kits...what a great idea for our adult kids and my older parents...Thank You!!!!!
Something similar to the meal plan we are doing is freezer meals! It’ll have everything in the bag or container to take out and have ready to go! I use so many tips and tricks that you’ve taught me in order to make this budget friendly for us!
My husband’s parents don’t need any material items so we are paying someone to deep clean the bathrooms and kitchen in their house. We are definitely focusing on items that our family need or things that make life easier.
Love the new water bottles! I’d be thrilled to have any of them, but, I especially love the Caribbean blue! We love to give “acts of service” as gifts, free babysitting, for a single mom, house cleaning for an elderly relative, individual serving freezer meals, for a busy young adult.
Congratulations on your new line! I’m loving the blues (although fifty shades is great too) & 32 oz is an awesome size! So hard to choose!! Thanks for all the gift suggestions! Some fantastic ideas! ❤
Love the I'm Only Here for the Food water bottle and the spoon one is so cute too! I love the idea of gifting experiences instead of items, I also love a good heated blanket.
The cookie one with the teal/navy coloring is totally my jam. I love that you added gifting experiences on your list. I've done that in the past with my nieces and nephews.
I love the smiling spoon. As a High School Secretary that would so make my students shake their heads and laugh, because why not smile and laugh. The yellow looks so cheerful (which we need now that it is winter.) Hugs to you and the family!!!
I love the be sayings on these! That teal color is my favorite! I think I would choose the 32 oz bottle in that color with "I'm just here for the food" because let's face it, that is pretty much always true!
I love the look of your tumbler and a good personal gift for someone who has everything would be a personal day with them such as taking them out for lunch and a pamper like haircut or manicure etc
Smiley face spoon!! Love some of these ideas! We did the same thing when our boys were older. We went on adventures. Sometimes, we would drive to the end of our road, tossed a coin on whether to turn right or left. Our boys still talk about them because we had no schedule to stop anywhere and no agenda and they loved it. We would stop when we saw something interesting that any of us saw. The longest trip we took was from Alabama to Arkansas. The only thing was, we had to be back home at a certain time because we had to go back to work and school. Best vacation ever!!
I completely agree with the Legos and Magnatiles. I don’t know what the Trios are but YES to the other 2. I love the cookies water bottle and the I’m only here for the food one. So cute!
A great gift for parents/grandparents- legacy box. We all have films or old pictures usually in a box in the attic or basement. Preserve those with Legacy Box.
With the health issues I've had this past year, not being able to eat and just starting to- I'm here for the food would be perfect!! I really like the smaller one for ice tea!
Been enjoying your videos for years! Love the straw cup in the carribean blue , I’m just here for the food. I enjoy your financial videos too - love it all!

I love the one that says, I'm not lazy, I'm efficient. That completely explains my life quite well.
"I'm not lazy I'm efficient" is definitely my life motto LOL! I love watching your videos and seeing someone that values everyday frugality.
