It’s the holidays, and for parents, that can mean hearing one question countless times “What do the kids want!?” Grandparents, especially, want to make the grandchildren happy and love nothing more than to shower them with gifts. But if the thought of one more toy in your house just drives you crazy, then point the grandparents in the direction of experiential gifts with an alternative registry instead.
What exactly is an alternative registry? It’s an easy and tasteful way to ask for contributions to the gift that you really want. For kids that already have toys and clothes out the wazoo, there are much better options for grandparents and other extended family to give to.

- Activities: Who needs more puzzles or movies? Get the kids out of the house by asking for a day at an amusement park or a sporting event, or even something new like a piano lesson or art class.
- College Savings: What’s more important than knowing that grandkids have a secure future and an education waiting for them? The perfect gift for grandparents to give!
With a Deposit a Gift registry, the options are endless. And the best part: no shipping, no gift wrap, no need for returns. Just happy kids and happy grandparents
