Do not keep children to their studies by compulsion but by play.
Plato, Greek philosopher, 427–347 BC

On the website, Your Modern Family, Becky Mansfield lists 50 of her favorite non-toy children's gifts. Here's a sampling:

- "Make them a photo album of memories from the year (use an album where it has room for you to write and share why you loved that moment)

- Tickets to an event

- Classes at a local gym, art studio, dance studio, soccer clinic…

- A gift certificate for books – check out Scholastic and order a gift card for a gift of education

- Recipe cards and ingredients (Make cookies or even playdough)"
