Tips on Gift-Giving and Receiving
With the major holidays approaching, parents face
two challenges: first how to find the perfect presents
for their children-the gifts that will be loved for years,
not just hours-and perhaps more importantly, how to
make sure their children are kind and grateful recipi-
ents, no matter what they get. Here are some ideas to
try.
Teach them what they are thanking people for. What
your children need to learn is that the thanks they give
is not necessarily for what is in the box-it's for the effort
and caring that went into it. Their thanks needs to show
that they recognize that someone cared enough to se-
lect a present just for them, pay for it, wrap it, and bring
it to them.
Understand that disappointment is part of life. It is a
guarantee that at some point your child is going to re-
ceive something he or she does not like or want. Ex-
plain this to your child ahead of time. Laugh about some
gifts you have gotten that were unusual.
When to write thanks, when to say thanks. Let your
children know that if a relative is in the room when they
open their present, that a sincere face-to-face thank you
(and a hug) is great. For everyone else, a thank you note
is an absolute must.
Appeal to their desire for "more." Sometimes chil-
dren need to think of things from their own, slightly
selfish, perspectives. Tell them that people may be less
inclined to give them a nice gift if they do not seem grate-
ful for the gifts they have received in the past.
When they are the "giver." One of the best ways to
help children realize the significance of giving is to make
sure they spend time finding and wrapping the gifts
they give to others. Give them odd jobs to help them
earn the money to buy gifts. Help them get excited about
choosing just the right gift for each person.
Give to others. Help your children help those less
fortunate. Save money for charity bell-ringers, adopt a
less-fortunate child through anonymous giving pro-
grams, or work in a food kitchen. Show your children
that giving is more rewarding than receiving.
Give gifts that expand their interests. Among the best
gifts for children are things that introduce them to new
activities: origami, tie dying, model planes or cars,
scrapbooking, photography, cooking, or basic wood-
working.
Look for presents that help them stay active. Any kind
of sports equipment helps kids have fun and get exer-
cise. Either give the child something you know he or
she wants and needs (a new glove), or introduce him or
her to a brand new sport (tennis racket and balls).
Practical gifts can be fun, too. A sleeping bag for over-
nights, or a small overnight bag or suitcase can be won-
derful presents. Look for designs that will appeal to the
child for years to come.
Spin the wheel, roll the dice and deal the cards. Card
and board games are classics for a reason-they have been
fun to play for decades. Look for games that children
can play with just one or two others, as well as those
that are for family-sized groups.
Open up to books. When you give a child a book,
you are giving both of you a present. Younger children
will enjoy the time they get to spend reading it with
you. Older kids will be quietly building their reading
skills and vocabulary, as well as their imaginations. If
you are really stumped about gift-giving, talk to friends
or relatives who have children slightly older than yours.
Ask what gifts their children really played with-gifts
that lasted in appeal long after the "newness" wore off.
This coming season can be a stressful time for many
and we, at Oviatt, hope everyone takes the time to en-
joy being with family and friends.
