In this video I’m sharing what I got my 6 kids for Christmas, and I’m doing it the way I have to do it in a big homeschool family—on a budget. I walk you through the actual items I picked for each kid (and why), with a big focus on gifts that won’t just become clutter. I’m always looking for things that fit their interests, encourage good habits, and keep them creating, building, reading, and playing together. You’ll see a mix of practical and fun: hands-on activities like diamond art (with an organizer and a light board to keep it manageable), puzzles, LEGO, and games we can enjoy as a family. I also share several book and graphic novel picks (plus where I like to shop for deals, like Book Outlet and ThriftBooks), because books are one of my favorite “never wasted” gifts—especially for homeschool kids who are always learning. If you’re trying to make Christmas special without overspending, I hope this gives you lots of realistic ideas you can tweak for your own kids.
