For me, family is the most important thing in this world. However, as my kids get older, I get less and less time with them, less family time, as they are in sports, hanging with friends, and more. So anything I can do to bring us all together is always a good thing. Below are just some of the things we do as a family or ways to bring the family together.

3S’mores Maker
- Name – Nostalgia LSM400 Indoor Electric Stainless Steel S’mores Maker
- Price – $59.57
- Buy Now – Amazon
- Description – I don’t understand this gift but people love it. Nothing like saying let’s have a great time with melted chocolate and marshmallows and fire (actually it’s electric, flameless heat) inside the house. For reference, it’s just under a foot wide, so a decent size.
4Family Photo Frame
- Name – Gallery Perfect 9 Piece Black Wood Family Photo Frame Wall Gallery Kit
- Price – $63.99

- Description – This is a cool gift for the house, well as long as the person who receives this gift likes their family. If they don’t you might want to find a different gift.
5MONOPOLY Deal
- Name – MONOPOLY Deal Card Game
- Price – $7.99
- Buy Now – Amazon
- Description – One of the best card games. We have been playing this for years. The game is quick, easy to learn, and fun. We have made our own adjustments. We like this game so much that we are already on our 3rd deck of cards because the other ones wore out.
6Muscle Massage Gun
- Name – AERLANG Massage Gun, Deep Tissue Massager, Portable Muscle Massage Gun
- Price – $37.99
- Buy Now – Amazon
- Description – I bought this for my Achilles after surgery. I am not one to put things back where they belong, so my kids got a hold of this and use it all the time. If you know anyone who has some pain or just wants a quick massage, this is a game changer.
7DNA Test
- Name – Various
- Price – $100 and up
- Buy Now – Amazon
- Description – I never bought one and do not have any desire but people love these. Myself, I know my family tree. If I take this all it will do is allow the Feds to trace DNA back to a family member and make an arrest. OK, I am just joking about that but this is a cool way to discover your family history.
8Cornhole Set
- Name – GoSports Classic Cornhole Set – Includes 8 Bean Bags
- Price – $51.99
- Buy Now – Amazon
- Description – This is a great game for the family where you can hang around and take it slow and easy. I like it best of all because there is no running involved. Fun for all ages.
9Catan Board Game
- Name – Catan Board Game
- Price – $41.14
- Buy Now – Amazon
- Description – Catan is a great game. I received this as a gift from my brother. My oldest son loves this game but my youngest doesn’t like it. So most of the time it’s just my wife, oldest son, and myself playing. The game can take up to an hour to play but it’s extremely fun and there is a strategy with a little luck involved. However I am very competitive and tend to get beat by my son, so it doesn’t always end well. I end up complaining most of the time, but it’s still fun.
10Throw Blanket
- Name – Bedsure Sherpa Fleece Throw Blanket for Couch
- Price – $16.93
- Buy Now – Amazon
- Description – What better way to end the night than with a warm blanket, a fire, and the TV. A blanket is always a great gift as you can never have too many blankets.
