Give thoughtful Christmas gifts this year!
Give thoughtful Christmas gifts this year!
Many of us don’t really need more ‘things’. Let’s think about giving gifts that either create memories or enhance people’s wellbeing. For my Dad’s 70th I bought him a voucher to go and do archery, and as a Christmas gift I did an art class with my mother and sister in law, it was awesome fun and quality time together!!!
You can’t take ‘things’ with you, but you can take memories. Here's my thoughtful Christmas Gifts Guide to help you with ideas! I’d LOVE to hear any others you have?
