10 ideas for cultivating a new gift giving and serving tradition

Would you like to face the holidays with a new, crea5ve, and though8ul way of giving gi9s
this Christmas?
The Secret Somethings tradi*on encourages you and your family to select unique and
personalized gi8s each other, and can be customized to t any size budget. As a parent, you may
choose to select one item from each category for each of your children or you may choose to
have the children select stocking size gi8s for each other from those category sugges*ons. You
might even choose to use this concept with your extended family, assigning each person a
category or puCng a name with a category and pulling it from the proverbial hat.

Something So8: like a pair of fuzzy socks, slippers, gloves, or a scarf


Something Sweet: like a favorite candy
Something Silly: like something from the dollar store
Something Scriptural: a new devo*onal or Bible or Bible study book
Something Prayerful: a leMer lled with prayerful words
Something Purposeful: like a prac*cal need, such as pajamas or shoes or a school supply
Something Personal: considering how God made each person unique, this gi8 reects
aMen*on to passions, hobbies, skills, gi8s, talents
8. Something to Give: this is a nancial gi8 that can be given to a ministry or family
9. Something to Share: this gi8 is meant to draw upon talents and/or resources to serve
family members
10. Someone to Serve: this is the gi8 of *me put aside to serve those in need in your
community, maybe secretly or publicly

The last three categories -- give, share, serve -- puts a new twist on gi8 giving, as you join
together as a family looking for ways to serve others out of your gi8s, talents, and resources.
This may be something you do especially for Christmas or a commitment you make to one
another for the year ahead.
