Family Gift Exchange Ideas

Gift Ideas

Share it with others!

What are some good gift exchange ideas? This holiday season will be different from others, gifts could be hard to find, and you might want to get a head start now. Instead of the traditional gift guides, I'm going to share our family's wish lists for our family gift exchange ideas.

What are some good gift exchange ideas? This holiday season will be different from others, gifts could be hard to find, and you might want to get a head start now. Instead of the traditional gift guides, I’m going to share our family’s wish lists for our family gift exchange ideas.

Before we start, please remember that these are a wish list. We have a budget and we don’t get crazy or go over what we spend on the holidays, birthdays, etc. Sometimes we get together with another family member and pool money together to buy one item they want instead of a bunch of smaller items.

    Bill has that Yeti cup and he loves it. I wonder if the Hallmark book has the bingo cards? Great lists! Thanks.

    I’m cracking up at your boy list. Exact copy for my son. These are some great ideas. I LOVE the 5 minute journal for myself! These are some great suggestions. Buy now! I hear Fedex and UPS are not going to be able deliver everything.

    Thank you so much for all of the fantastic ideas. Thinking of ideas is the most difficult part of gift giving, I think.

    Hi, great ideas there …
    Gaming stuffs are going to cost … and you probably want to find something “gaming” but without the word “gaming” in it … lol
    might cost a little lesser … :p just my 2 cents

      Yes, my son has high tastes. He knows he won’t get it all and usually has to save some of his own money to get some of these items as we have our limit. Thanks for sharing.
