We are getting so close to Christmas!  Like so many of you, we have a lot of extended family that we only see a few times a year, making it hard to know what they will really truly love!  These are the perfect gifts for those people because the entire family will love them!  I love finding a gift the family will enjoy together, not only during the holidays but all year long!  Keep reading to get all the best family gift ideas for this holiday season.

Games

Board games, lawn games, and card games are great gifts because they can be used on a casual family night, or when entertaining and hosting guests.  We love to play this one with a large group (we will probably break it out on Christmas!). If you want to laugh, definitely grab this one or this one.  Lawn games are another great game option and perfect for families that like to spend time outside!

Movies and Entertainment

I love gifting movies we love like The Greatest Showman or this one for families with younger kids.  Pairing movies together with theatre candies and an at-home popcorn maker make the perfect movie-night gift basket!  That is easily one of my favorite ideas for the family I really am not sure what to gift.

A bluetooth enabled record player with some of their favorite albums is the perfect way to mix nostalgia with current technology.  You can play music from your phone or play records- how cool is that!  Speaking of nostalgia, one of my very favorite gifts to give is this Polaroid camera.  Everyone, young and old, loves a Polaroid!  You get the instant gratification of seeing your picture within seconds, along with having a physical, tangible photo in your hands, so fun!

Electronics

An Amazon Fire Stick or Echo make great gifts for the tech-savvy family.  These gifts are exciting for kids and mom and dad, and can be used in another room if they already have either!  A Ring Doorbell is another great gift for the family!  Daniel and I just got one and we absolutely love it.  You can get alerts on your phone when there is someone at your door and you can see the video in real-time on your app and even talk to them!

The Instant Pot and Roomba are more adult or parent gifts, but they can definitely be enjoyed by the entire family, too!
A fun way to include the family pet is with one of these home cameras!  We have one of these for Ryleigh and use it all the time.  The best part is that you can give them treats from the app!

DNA Kits

DNA Kits are such a fun and interesting gift to give a family interested in learning more about their background.  The best part about these kits is that every single member in a family will have different results, which makes it really exciting to compare when everyone gets them back!  There are tons of different kinds of DNA kits on the market, so make sure you pick one you trust.  We like this one!

I hope this helps give you some ideas on what to buy as family gifts!  Let me know if you’ll be buying one gift for the family this year!
