In an earlier blog I had written about controlling the amount of money spent on children’s gifts, and recognizing when children are getting too much. I was referring to gifts that guests bring to the birthday child.
You see the gifts that really count are the ones you give to your child in the form of experiences and memories – no occasion or budget required.
I just had a wonderful experience with my daughter that we’ve been meaning to share; we finally visited Serendipity, a New York landmark famous for their frrrrrozen hot cocoa.
Unlike gift cards, memories have no expiration dates.
