We spoiled our children and we apparently are even more intent on doing so with our grandchildren! Boomers claim to have redefined many aspects of life – from open family dialoge to ways to influence politics, now are they redefining grandparenthood? My parents were somewhat more interactive with their grandchildren (my kids).

Family Balance Sheet

Whether you’re trying to save money or just limit the amount of stuff in your life, it doesn’t make it cheap to gift your friends and family ideas from this list. If you have the knack for your DSLR, a photo session would be a perfect idea for new parents, soon-to-be high school or college graduates, or a family portrait.

Family Balance Sheet

DECEMBER 3, 2014

The gift my grandparents really want is to spend time with my family and we enjoy spending time with them. This is a great idea for seniors, friends who don’t have family nearby, college students, or just about anyone on your list. My aunt gifts her nieces and nephews with loaves of homemade cinnamon bread every Christmas.

I saw that you don’t exchange Christmas gifts with nieces and nephews on your side. What did Christmas and birthday gifts for nieces and nephews look like when they were young? In families with just a few cousins/grandchildren, I can see it working out, but not with 17 cousins/grandchildren.
