practical gift ideas for kids this christmas

5:51 AM

I always like to say that I am a very practical person. Really. When it comes to receiving a gift I cherish things more that I can actually use regularly as opposed to something ornamental, fashionable, or cliche. Even growing up I much preferred things such as art supplies, or books, or sheet music or clothes as opposed to whatever toy happened to be advertised that year (except for my ALF doll, I really did want an ALF doll! Ha!). In fact, I sometimes think that my love of practical gifts sometimes makes people, including my husband, have to work harder, although for one: I never expect gifts from anyone, ever ( and I mean it); and two: I am truly happy with anything I receive (and I mean this, too).
