I just do the same gifts each year. Pajamas, books and a filled stocking. I have fun chosing the pjs for each child and a special book (when we have traveled I try to get books writen by local talent) I also try to find puppets for each of the kids for the stockings ... even the older ones have fun with these at our family party. When the kids get older (usually 12 or so) I get gift cards to the vintage book store for them to chose a book of their own. This year and a few years ago I got a bug and knit slippers for each of them also. That has been a challenge but fun. We have 18 grandchildren from 4 yrs to 15 yrs I have always done this “same gift” with my grandkids. I just do the same gifts each year.

I'm a little bit bothered by it due to that, my grandfather passed away two weeks ago and of course this will be the first Christmas that our family is incomplete. I still want to see her happy this Christmas. About your idea of Gift Baskets, that would be great and lovely. Keep it up! And for other members of the family, just go for a simple and inexpensive gift idea. Another idea is an earth-friendly stuffs that they will surely love like lunch box tins. It will show how important they are. Besides, Christmas day is not only about exchanging gifts but it is about celebrating together with your love-ones.
