What do we mean by family gift? Think of it as a large splurge on a gift everyone in the home can enjoy — like a new flat-screen OLED TV, trampoline, karaoke mic or other home addition from which each family member benefits. We’ve rounded up our favorite picks for family gifts this year and a few options for each with varying prices depending on your budget.
Benefits of Family Gifts
Simplicity: You’re taking a massive chunk of work off your to-do list by opting for one large gift for the family rather than a bunch of smaller presents. Think of the wrapping paper saved!
Home Improvement: Many of the best family gift ideas add a substantial entertainment element to your home that’s fun and that many guests who come over in the future will enjoy.
Cuts Jealousy: If your kids tend to fight over presents or always want what the other one gets, then a large family gift is perfect. Not only will you cut the jealousy, but you’ll eliminate the potential for fighting because they got the same present!
You Benefit Too: Unlike individual gifts, everyone in the family benefits from a family present: including you! You’ll get to enjoy the brand-new toy alongside everyone else.
