I polled my audience over on stories this year and they wanted to see some family gifts this year that were a bit out-of-the-box! So I had a lot of fun putting this one together!
Concert Tickets- This Scratch Reveal Concert Ticket - DIY Surprise Gift Card is toooo fun! If you planned the perfect concert for your loved one- why not reveal the surprise with this exciting scratch reveal concert ticket!? This DIY ticket is perfect for any music fan. All you need to do is write the details on the ticket, and place the scratch sticker over the reveal area. Easy! The ticket is printed on thick silk card stock, with matt lamination for a premium quality finish. It also comes with a premium black envelope, and a silver scratch sticker for you to create your perfect reveal card. I included this because concert tickets are always a good idea! My daughter’s fave gift actually! Plus you can also plan a family outing around the concert with dinner reservations too!
Red Velvet Subscription Box- I do love gifts that last! Subscriptions, when done right, are brilliant. You’re essentially giving them gifts to look forward to all year long! There are literally thousands of subscription options available. So you’ll want to be selective. And Red Velvet does not disappoint ! Once a month, you'll receive pre-measured ingredients and detailed recipe cards. ( so genius) They mix it up with a variety of seasonal desserts, so you can learn new techniques along the way. They'll be sure to include special tips and tricks to ensure your desserts shine. Shipments arrive on the first Thursday of every month. You can skip a delivery anytime too! Red Velvet grew out of a love of baking and entertaining. They believe dessert is about sharing and celebrating with people you care about and they love bringing people together and know you will too. This is a perfect gift to bring families together too! Y0ou can bake together in person or virtually! I also love the idea of gifting this to a family with young kids so kids learn new skills!

Legacy Box- Perhaps 2021’s sweetest gift for family members, Legacy Box is an outstanding service for digitizing memories. Simply fill your legacy box with any format of home movies, photos, etc, and they will digitize them for you! This box is ideal for families where there are only one set of precious photos or memories. In fact, this lets the entire family hold onto them! You can read about my full experience from 2019 with Legacy Box…many years later- it’s something that STILL has me thinking about it!
“ Custom Quotes”-Drawn Digitally Art By Minted- I love this idea! Perhaps share your grandmother’s favorite saying and have one made for each family member. Share wedding vows, family values, etc! Again..so many possibilities here. I love that it’s so personal! Given the last 19 months we all had..maybe there is a quote that stands out that you want your family to always find strength in!
The Adventure Challenge-Family Edition- 50 Scratch-Off Family Adventures- Every adventure in the book is a surprise until you scratch it off! Don't forget to take photos and let the book become a keepsake full of memories to look back on. Obliterate boredom, break out of ruts, discover new favorite traditions, and create those "laugh so hard your face hurts moments" that you’ll tell stories about for years. Kids grow up too fast! Let's create fun, lasting memories that bond us together with them. The goal of The Family Edition is connection through new experiences. No take backs! Once it's scratched off, you HAVE to do it. It's time to discover something new about yourself. Simply choose a category together, then scratch off your adventure! Don't forget to take a picture and journal your experience! When you finish, you'll have a keepsake to look back on. Hint: There's a time and money guide over each box to help you decide. Who is this for? This book is for families of all ages and sizes, but is ideally created with kids ages 4-15 in mind and for families of around 4-8 members. How much are the challenges? The challenges range from $0-$50, but they can all be modified to fit within your budget. Their is a Couple’s Challenge too! (thinking of getting that for Rodge this year)

You can plan a whole family trip around this too really scoring you some hugs! HA
