Pass on a family heirloom; take the time to write up the history and meaning
Share a favorite book; include a special dedication message inside
Gather their sports team, dance recital or school pictures in one “through the years” album
Take a trip together instead of exchanging gifts; wrap up maps of the states you’ll visit
Buy a mini-Christmas tree and ornament organizer for all those ornaments they made in school over the years – you get the bonus of moving them out of your attic to your child’s apartment!

A compilation CD of the your all-time favorite songs, or put them on a USB
Treasure box with childhood memories, school papers
Pass on a DVD of your favorite movie; add a popcorn popper, bowl, seasoning
Make a quilt out of their college t-shirt collection
Side by Side generational book, you as a child, me as a child through the years

Just add butter cookie batter mixes
A cooler filled with snacks and drinks
Jumper cables and a travel-sized first aid kit
