I really can feel the Christmas mood already. And it seems we have to start setting aside, as early as now, storage and closet spaces to accommodate the incoming Christmas presents for my toddler. Last year, he got tons that we practically maximized even the littlest nook in our bedroom for the toys he was given.
Earlier today, my brother-in-law who also happens to be my 19 month old son’s ninong (godfather) asked what’s the ideal gift for him this year. Graciously, I told him anything would do but I think, it will be more useful if he’d have 2T clothes instead of toys. For one, it can be utilized over and over for a long time. Two, my son’s interest over a particular toy easily fades and three, there’s no more space in his toy chest. Or another option, his Baby Bedding Sets are seemingly asking for replacements already. Board books and educational materials are also much appreciated since he has developed interest in school activities at such a young age. That’s the advantage of living here with my in laws where there’s a pre-school within the compound. He even has his own backpack that he carries as he run to the assembly line for the flag ceremony. Gifts that come in ampao (red envelopes that Chinese use for money gifts) are very much welcome, too, which will go straight to his savings account.
Have you thought what to gift your kids this Christmas?
