My son LOVES having a day out with his grandparents. They have done this for the past 2 years and he looks forward to it every time. They go out to eat, buy a gift together and just enjoy the day.
And of course for the non-cluttering ideas:
Gift cards to Amazon or iTunes if he has electronics
Movie tickets
Build-a-bear
Skyzone or Trampoline place gift card
Museum or zoo membership
Sports complex gift card
Lessons to sports or music
Good old fashioned CA$H!!!
If you ask most parents, they say “they don’t NEED anything”, but the fun of being a kid was to get presents on your birthday. If you’re still not sure, just have fun with it, they will love whatever you get!
