THE 5 GIFT RULE // how we are doing gifts this season with our girls
Our kids tend to get a lot around the holidays because we have so much family, and this year I really wanted to be more intentional. Emaline likes crafting and doing artistic things, and Pearl … well, her age is really hard to shop for and I didn’t want to get her mindless gifts just because.
So, this year we are doing the 5 gift rule: Something you WANT, Something you NEED, Something to WEAR, Something to READ, and Something to DO. In addition to this, they will also wake up to 1-2 Santa gifts under the tree.
Below I’m including some of what we are getting our girls but also some other ideas for you!
