Gift Guide 2016
Posted on General December 15, 2016 by Mary George
We always have so much fun doing the activities with the girls in our classes and workshops AND we have had such wonderful feedback from our previous Gift Guides, we thought that this year we would again create our My Remarkable Self® Gift Guide. These are special things for you, your child and family to do together as well as some fun, thoughtful crafts and books for your child to enjoy. Our classic gifts we have put an * beside. We hope that you have a wonderful holiday!!
Chat packs / conversation starter packs are always great suggestions for family dinners, Friday game night or even travel. Check them out on Amazon!
Tickets to a museum, play, or sports event just for you and one child as special time together
