GIFT WRAPPING & UNWRAPPING

Christmas is a lot more fun with children, because children plus presents is a simple recipe for joy.

The act of opening a present should be filled with wonder and excitement. As adults, we get to watch little eyes light up, and smiles spread across perfect happy faces.

The best part about gifting to small children is that they do not have any interest in what something has cost, or whether it’s the latest most amazing version of something (that comes later!) The next best part is that the unwrapping is almost as important as what is inside. Sometimes it seems to be more important.

This Christmas you might have some anxiety about the gift purchasing budget. With the pressure of inflation that currently surround us let’s focus on simple ways to make gift giving memorable - without spending too much money.

Let’s focus on the simple but wonderful act of unwrapping.

Is your child the rip it open as fast as possible kind? Or maybe you have the careful and calm child, who peels each piece of tape off in slow motion? Either one is fantastic to watch!

Here are some ideas to make unwrapping the best part of all.
