Three-generation Christmas shopping can become complicated because different gifts serve different purposes.
Separate people from households
Some gifts belong to one person. Others make more sense for a whole family.
Use shared experiences for connection
A baking night, outing, or family game can create something grandparents, parents, and kids all participate in.
Plan around visits
If grandparents will be in town, choose gifts that can be used while everyone is together.
Let one tradition cross generations
The Tomte Cake can give older family members storytelling and memory roles while younger children handle decorating and finding Tomte.
