Today, gift-givers have a responsibility to ensure that the gifts they give do not become a burden to the recipient, their immediate circle, and most importantly, our beloved planet. Giving gifts is not so easy anymore!
Many adults feel that children already have more than enough material things—plastic junk, if you will, and disposable items that end up on the top shelf of a storage room. That's why alternative gift suggestions are sought after during the consumer frenzy of Black Friday and the Christmas season. We've listed a few tips for immaterial and developmental gifts that won't clutter up children's rooms with unnecessary stuff.
