#1: We All Scream for Ice Cream!
Ice cream is a universal delight! There aren’t too many families that don’t eat ice cream, frozen yogurt, or some other chilly treat. Shoot, we even eat ice cream while sitting by the fire in the winter. Ha ha! Here is a great suggestion for the ice cream lover on your list. We’ve included lots of possibilities with this one. Pick and choose to create just the right gift for the ice cream lovers on your list.

# 2: Family Game Night
There are often so many family memories that surround fun family game nights. Give the gift of fun and games this Christmas by starting with a fun game that your family may not necessarily buy for themselves. This is a great gift idea if the family has teenagers. Don’t forget the littles people who may just be observing. Make sure you have treats for them!
- Game – These are some of our picks (Azul, Ticket to Ride, Skull King, Chickapig, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza)
- Card holders for little hands
- Score Pads or app you could use a score-keeping app
- Treats
# 3: Family Night at the Movies
Bring the movies home with all the extras – popcorn, candy, soda, the works! Or maybe you want to gift them a night out at the movies. Either way, movies bring families together. So, give a favorite movie or a gift card for theater tickets. But. . .don’t forget those “extras.”
- Family Favorite Movie
- Redbox Gift Card & Treats
# 4: Music, Music, Music
Music brings lots of fun to a group, but actually playing gets the group involved! Many electronic keyboards have preprogrammed music or maybe there are some future musicians in the group. We found that ukuleles and colored bells are easy enough for most the family members to play even when they don’t read music or know how to play an instrument.
- Electronic Keyboard w/Stand
- Ukuleles
- Handbells – Merry Bells – Use nanalandcoupon for 10% off
- Songbook with easy music (Disney, showtunes, children’s songs, popular music)
- Short music course for that instrument – check local music stores or find one online
# 5: Karaoke Fun
If playing an instrument is not your thing, try singing. Everyone from the kids to teens to adults will love getting to be a “star” as they sing to their favorite music from any era and any genre. Below, there are suggestions for where to find karaoke tracks to sing to.
- Karaoke Machine
- Suggestions for music – You Tube, Free karaoke app, karaoke software, karaoke websites
# 6: Hot Stuff
Of all the gifts my hubby has ever bought for me, my electric kettle probably gets the most use from the most people in my family. Everyone who comes over asks to use the kettle. Whether they want hot cocoa, tea, or to use it for cooking a Sunday side dish, it’s the preferred method of heating lots of water. Add some fun mugs and mini marshmallows to round out the perfect cocoa gift.
# 7: Family Book Club
When considering family Christmas gifts, don’t forget the readers on your list! You can choose one book for everyone to read together or maybe try a series that are family favorites. Add some fun booklights for those night owls in the family. You could choose to give the family a gift card to choose their next book when the one you give them is finished.
- Book (one to read as a family) OR
- Book Series – A couple of my favorites that are family-friendly (Michael Vey, Kingdom Keepers)
- Booklights
- Gift card from Barnes & Noble or Amazon
# 8: Donuts Anyone?
Who doesn’t love donuts? A really fun treat for everyone in the family! Mini donuts are a great way to please everyone’s taste. Gift some fun toppings and frostings to add them to plain donuts. Include a donut cookbook so those who receive your gift can make new creations each time they use the donut maker.

- Toppings to decorate with – sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc.
# 9: Family Mugs

# 10: Know Your Family Tree
Tracing family roots is a great way to strengthen your family. Learning about who you are and where you came from are questions that many people want answers to. Finding ancestors can be a thrilling adventure. This gift makes for a solution to one of life’s greatest mysteries.
- DNA Testing kits
- Family Tree Chart
- Small black & white family photos
# 11: Family Art
Personalized family portraits are a very special gift. There are a few different types of these portraits. Some are just illustrations of each family member with their names underneath. One that turns out really beautiful is where they take an actual photograph and turn it into a watercolor of that photo. Take a look at the link below to get an idea of what is available.
# 12: Science Lovers
Could one of your family Christmas gifts be a gift for lovers of science or experiments? Some families love their activities to be educational in nature. Science often gives new ways to look at the world around you. A science package makes the perfect gift for those with curious minds.
- Science Project Book
- Some of the common items to help do the experiments
# 13: Wake Up and Smell the Roses
Don’t you love when you go into your home and it has the smell of something wonderful?? Give the gift of all kinds of wonderful smells that give a home that welcoming feeling. An essential oil diffuser along with some different oils can be a gift that can make a house a home.
*I’m not a affiliate for DoTerra oils but they are the ones I use. You may have another favorite.
# 14: Family Drive-in
Create a family drive-in theater for that family on your list that loves movies and long summer nights. If you include everything from the screen to the treats, the only thing missing is the backseat. Check out the link below for how to make fun little cardboard cars for the youngest of movie-goers.
#15: Who Wants S’more?
Gooey marshmallows and melted chocolate. . .it doesn’t get much better than that. Or can it? What if you didn’t have to wait for the summer months to enjoy those warm, sticky treats? Give an indoor S’mores maker along with all the fixin’s to bring a little bit of sunshine inside on a cold winter day.

Thank you, Stephanie! That is awesome that your grandkids will be close by. It’s a blessing to have those cuties close enough to be involved in their everyday lives – school, sports, events, etc. I am here to help with suggestions for grandma camp. Woo Hoo!
