Tired of buying your kids toys every year?
It's true that they are overwhelmed with useless objects that accumulate in their room!
But who said that giving a gift necessarily meant giving toys?
Indeed, there are intangible gifts that will bring them much more than just one more object in their room.
These experiences will create memories they will never forget.
Here are the 65 unforgettable gift ideas to offer instead of a toy . Watch:
With the COVID pandemic, some experiments are harder to do right away.
In this case, the best thing is to offer a "GOOD FOR" doing this activity when the health situation has improved.
