Everyone tries to get Christmas presents that are what people want, useful, ect. We have changed tactics in the last few years when it comes to family. Instead of a "toy" that is going to be used then forgotten, ect we try and give experiences.
One year my youngest who is a big Cincinnati Bengas Fan (poor guy until this year) we combined his graduation and birthday together and sent him to see a game. (had free tickets from Amex Points). He has the pictures and him and his dad had a great time.
This year we are working on the Cinci / San Diego game (it is a lot harder cause they are winning!).
For another son's birthday we took him and a friend to a Hockey game, and one time bought tickets for a concert they wanted to see.
This is not only something they want to do, but gives lasting memories, unlike the closets of toys past chock full of (Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Transformers)
It doesn't have to be super expensive, send them to an amusement park, museum, sporting event, etc ... make it a lasting memory and a great present.
