[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 226600, member: 1233"] One thing I try to do with the kids is to have them think throughout the year about birthday and Christmas gifts for others. We give a lot of used gifts on my side, many times because some of the coolest books are out of print. Also because we like to try to give a nice donation to a group or adopt a family instead of spending large amounts on each other. Anyway, as we go to thrift stores or garage sales throughout the year I have the kids look at items through this "Would X or Y like htis?" viewfinder. So often I can pull out a tub of gifts each of them has purchased in the summer with allowance and they can clean it up if needed and then wrap. This year we just couldn't, mostly because I couldn't garage sale last summer. maybe this is how my kids started. That jsut occurred to me. [/QUOTE]
