Experience based Christmas gifts for kids

[LongLostTeacher]

My kids have enough stuff and we’re planning to sell our house next year so we really don’t need more items I will have to purge. ALL our immediate relatives ask me for specific links of what to buy our three children (11,9,5). The children themselves can’t think of things they actually want. Their birthdays are close to Christmas and I have requested money into their accounts for that, relatives are not keen for money for birthday and for Christmas, so I need ideas.

So far, I have:
snack box subscription
science and nature magazine subscription
kiwi crate subscription
zoo keeper experience (pricey - will need to be split between a few family members)

Any other ideas? Thanks.

I give my g kids an activity club of their choice . So they've chosen Irish dancing , Street dancing, cricket, ju jitsu and gymnastics over the years . I make sure They know it's from us for their Xmas and birthday so they don't think were the GPs who don't buy them anything! And just get then a stockingfiller type gift at Xmas.

Clothing subscription for socks / Tshirts

Tickets to the theatre / panto / concert

Zoo experience - feed a giraffe / lemur / whatever

Spotify / Netflix subscription

Costa / Starbucks / Gregs gift card

Thank you!

One set of grandparents already pay for music lessons, so I may say that should be an ongoing present and they don’t need to worry about more.

Never heard of the clothing subscription, will look into that.

Hadn’t thought of the theatre, that’s a great one.

Further ideas welcome.

If they are into Fancy Dress and costumes, this is something to look into. Not a crappy polyester one in a plastic wrap on a supermarket shelf , but a real costume.
I love costumes!! We just had a 1920s party.

If you are in London, pop into one of the shops, and then you can organise theme nights, dressing up the house as much as yourself.

It is fun to have fun!
