Have you ever wondered what the perfect gift to give would be for a family with young children? Birthday parties, as a hostess gift or just a kind gesture? Here is my list of favorite, meaningful gifts to give a family. It’s a gift that will KEEP ON GIVING.
It was a time honored tradition among early American families when someone deserved special praise or attention, they were served dinner on The Red Plate. Today this custom, so dear to early American families, returns to remind us a simple reward can mean so much. The Red Plate is the perfect way to acknowledge a family member’s special triumphs . . . celebrate a birthday . . . praise a job well done . . . reward a goal achieved . . . or simply say “You are Special Today”. When The Red Plate is used, any meal becomes a celebration, honoring that special person, event, or deed. It is a visible reminder of love and esteem, a way of showing someone dear to you they are appreciated and remembered. The Red Plate is designed and crafted to become a family heirloom as it is cherished and passed from one generation to the next, marking life’s important milestones.

You’ll learn something new about your kids and even yourself!

My friend got us this and we love marking the children’s height on it versus on an actual wall that we may leave one day.
