If you’re looking for a way to make our elf adventures more meaningful this year this gifts of gratitude kit is a wonderful idea. Give your children the gift of gratitude this holiday season! Every day, your elf will show up with a “Countdown to Christmas” tag & a gratitude journaling prompt on the back.
*Note: You’ll want to purchase a journal for your kids to write in every day. This can be one journal for the whole family to share…or you can get a journal for each of your kids…your choice! Wrap it up & put the letter from your elf on top so your kids can open it the first day your elf arrives!
