Gifts for Family Reunions

Family reunions are the perfect place to incorporate a birthday, anniversary, or other event in your family's life. Naturally, gifts can play an important role at large family events.

Though this isn't necessary for family members you see on a daily or weekly basis, it can really mean something to those Cousins, Aunts, and Uncles you don't get to see as often as you like.
Younger family members and children love gifts and it's fun to incorporate them somewhere in your family reunion.

One fun idea for giving gifts that includes the entire family is the Secret Santa. It doesn't have to be near Christmas for this to be a lot of fun.
You assign someone to each family member making sure not to have doubles and allot a certain dollar amount like $10. The gift buyer gets something the family member would like or something silly and wraps it up.

Sometime during the family reunion, everyone gathers together and the names are read off and gifts are exchanged. This can be a lot of fun.

Some of the best gifts you can give are family pictures. If you rarely see some of your extended family, by giving or exchanging family pictures, you can be a little closer with each other.
Everyone has some picture of a family member that hasn't been updated for years so this is the perfect time to fix that.

Someone should also be the designated reunion photographer. They can be in charge of taking pictures of everyone all day long.
