Families can offer to read aloud during visits as a free alternative to gifts, which can save money and create shared reading time with children. The suggestion applies to any household with young kids who enjoy being read to.
The takeaway
Reading aloud gives children a chance to ask questions and learn, and it asks little more of a visitor than time and a book. Families who want to keep visits low-cost can use this simple swap for gifts.
