Ideas for sister and family

[BluePicture]

They have 4 kids and a very busy life. The kids have a lot of stuff and Sister has confided in the past that a lot of presents they get go straight to charity.

I have tried to tactfully say let’s not bother with presents this year but earlier today they asked what our kids want so don’t think it worked!

So I need help! Have read some other similar threads but the kids are a wide range of ages (1 to 12) so although I want to get a family present rather than individual ones, it’s difficult to decide what. Any thoughts? I’m thinking £100 budget wise in total.

How about a membership to national trust or similar for the family? Or a voucher for a meal & activity?

That’s what I was thinking but someone said that it wasn’t special enough. But I’m sure they’d prefer something they’d actually use...

Yes I reckon vouchers to something is a good idea - something local (and not fixed to a date!) maybe cinema, trampoline park, amusement park.. sure you could do that for less than £100 and entertaining 4 kids over the holidays is probably expensive and hard work!

Is it for the adults and the kids?

What about New Year’s Eve in a box? Fireworks for the kids and champagne for the grownups?

I bought my neice and nephew fireworks recently. Just back garden ones but they loved them. You could throw in some confetti cannons etc?

I’m returning to this as still struggling.

I want something that covers the whole family. But I don’t live locally so as much as I love the New Years Eve in a box it’s not really practical.

My fall back is tickets to the local amusement park but my mum pooh poohed that saying it’s not very exciting!

I got my sister and her 4 kids a voucher to an escape room experience last year. They loved it and had a blast together.

Another vote for an escape room experience

A ticket to the zoo and a meal voucher?

Giant jenga for garden or similar.?
