The holidays are approaching, what are you going to even put on your list? My family started doing this tradition, and we have some great ideas to share with you on what can go on your list.
Let’s look at the categories one by one, so you can get a better idea!!
Read:
With the read category this can range from an individual book to a series of books. For avid readers...you know those kids who just devour any book you put in front of them, a multi-book series like, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series are great. Then it will last all of winter break.
Then it’s time for the library!! Or rereading his favorites.
For kids who don’t like to read, these are a few great titles The One and Only Ivan, The One and Only Bob (sequel to The One and Only Ivan) and the Five Nights at Freddy's Book Series. My son is a fighter when it comes to reading, and he was super excited to find these books. Those went to the top of his list. I was very happy that he could find something that he was interested in. At least I know he will gobble them up!!
A few years ago I bought my husband The Complete Calvin and Hobbs box set, and whenever he is having a rough day, or just needs a laugh, he will pull it off the shelf and get lost in the comics. It was very nostalgic for him to get this, since it was one of his favorites to read in the funny paper as a kid.
If you are leaning more towards self-development and a growth mindset, you might like Conscious Language or Oola - Find Balance in an Unbalanced World. Everything Oola is high on my list for learning about. And I am on my 2nd read of Conscious Language and I am growing with each page!!
Boom!!!
Wear:
In the wear category, you can really put so many different things. On our lists I usually see more fun things on the wear list. Maybe a great sweatshirt for an elementary age kiddo. My son loves to get the brightest sweatshirt around.
Or for those teens or hubby, a great Spyder Sweater Jacket is the key. My husband has 3 already, and he is asking for another one this year. He wears them all the time. They look great and are super comfy. Now, my teen son has them on his list too.
I know I will have some well dressed companions when I can drag them out on the town!!
For you ladies, it can be hard to come up with something to wear, but remember you can always add a cute sweater to your Amazon cart and let your hubby find it. Then your size will be right! I have gotten a few surprises over the years by doing that. Something will just appear in the mail.
Hints get noticed!!
