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!
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!!!!!
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 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.
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!
Another great gift is restaurant/food cards. Example: my father in law eats breakfast at McDonald’s everyday. They sell punch cards for a free sandwich per week and year. He loves them. I once got a McDonald’s card for drinks. Lots of iced coffee. White Navy blue. 32oz bottle cookies please.
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.
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!!!
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!!
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.
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.
We are doing the experiences for the first time this year. My kiddos are 5 and 7. I even asked close family members to not do toys. Cause I want my kids to have the memories over the things.
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 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!
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!
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
Bought heated blankets (throws) last year and another two this year to use whilst watching tv etc. at night rather than putting on the heating as the cost of energy here in UK as in other countries has gone through the roof. It’s cheaper to heat the person rather than the whole room/house. It’s saved us a bunch on money.
I love the blue water bottle with the white snap up lid. For my birthday this year, the hubs went have-zees with me on a Joroto spin bike X1S that has a 10 inch iPad stand and the same computer your bike has! I freaking love it. Less than $200! Woot! 😎. I love that weekend bag too!
The weekender bag that has the compartment at the bottom to keep shoes separate is a great idea. I love the 32-ounce bottle with the spout top in teal that says if you know you know.
Ludabottles Teal "I'm only here for the food" 24 oz bottle. (My fave!) We love our legos and magnatiles, though we use the more cost efficient Picasso Tiles!
I'm not lazy I'm efficiently 😊😊. My kids love magnatiles.. they also have a wheelie car I got on zulily 5+ years ago for $20 they and their friends all still love.
Oh my goodness, I love the gray water bottle with Ride bikes, Pet dogs!! Great for taking my dog on trails! The 32 ounce is good, but honestly I would love anything!
***The winner has been chosen!!!***

My aunt bought me Lincoln Logs for like my 26th birthday. And I got the game Cootie when in my early 30's, I think. Lol.
Played woth Lincoln Logs in the 70s..
I would love the grey one
Love the grey with the doodle!! Since I have a grand puppy doodle🐾 Love your ideas and will now start Christmas shopping online 🎄
Love your energy and gift ideas!

These cups are gorgeous! The first color is so beautiful ❤
I’m loving the “Ride Bikes, Pet Dogs” water bottle!! So excited for your new line!

"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.
I love the one that says, I'm not lazy, I'm efficient. That completely explains my life quite well.
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.
WOW, how nice!
As a senior Grandmama, I can attest to loving the calender or any other photo gifts! I don't need anything else to dust!
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! ❤
The best one, I'm here for the food! Perfect for my 9yr old grandson! Football,soccer, baseball anything outside, add a ball, heaven!
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.
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!!!
So excited for daily videos!! I look forward to them each year. Love the “I’m only here for the food” tumbler in Caribbean blue💙

That blue with the food doodles is gorgeous, but I'm only here for the food speaks to my soul! Great job on these designs!

The first year in college my daughters were all gifted hello fresh to help build culinary confidence and limit food expenses. Great gift idea
"Cookies please" could be my catchphrase. Loving the tumbler
I like the 30 ounce tumbler with black straw lid and says "I'm not lazy, I'm efficient".
That blue “Yes please” Cookie one looks amazing! So exciting!
We are doing the experiences for the first time this year. My kiddos are 5 and 7. I even asked close family members to not do toys. Cause I want my kids to have the memories over the things.

I like how budget friendly your ideas were.
