Christmas morning often brings a pile of individual gifts. One present for the whole family can change the pace by giving everyone something to look forward to doing together after the wrapping paper settles.
Think beyond something everyone simply owns
A strong family gift creates participation. It should invite people to play, bake, build, explore, watch, or make something together.
Christmas morning family gift ideas
- A family game everyone can learn quickly.

- A new annual Christmas tradition.
For families with children, The Tomte Cake Set can be opened as a family gift and used later that day or during the holiday break. The experience brings together a Christmas story, baking, decorating, hiding, and finding Tomte.
Give the family something to do after the presents
One of the advantages of an activity gift is that Christmas does not have to peak the moment the last package is opened. The family has a second event waiting for them.
Choose something repeatable
If the gift can return each December, it may eventually become more meaningful than a one-year novelty. Children often remember what the family did together more clearly than the complete list of what they received.
