Ideas For Family Reunion Activities And Better Gifts
By Haily Potts
Family reunions are getting more and more elaborate
as the years progress and individuals seek out new ways
to show their love and appreciation for their closest
of kin.
Some families meet up at someone’s homestead or a local
picnic/park area, while others go on family reunion
vacations to all-inclusive resorts, cabins or cruise
ships. Many people are planning fun reunion games and
activities to liven up the mood.
Perhaps you’ll want to organize gifts or prizes for
your family members too. Here are some ideas for family
reunion gifts that can make this year’s event even more
memorable.
Buying Family Reunion Gifts Online
One of the best websites with family reunion gifts
is simply www.gifts.com.
This site acts as a compendium of other sale sites and
brings you the best of the Internet.
Here you’ll find a $10 family scrap-booking kit, personalized
wall decals for $24.95, $20 custom tees, personalized
luggage tags for $29, personalized photo calendars for
$16.95, $45 family tree picture frames, $5 family fridge
magnets, $150 family heirloom photo quilts, custom photo
M&Ms (3 bags for $38.97) and $345 custom "Memory
Lane" artwork of all your family’s favorite
locations.
Many of the gifts on this site are intended to be given
to individuals or won as a prize in family reunion games,
rather than purchased in bulk for everyone.
A Personalized Marble Tile Message
Another great resource for the family reunion planner
is www.findgift.com.
Many families like the idea of giving a personalized
marble tile message for $29, which makes the perfect
spoon rest for a kitchen or mantel accent for the
fireplace.
Another $29 offering is a family recipe cookbook, which
keeps the sumptuous culinary traditions going. The $54.95
family tree tapestry afghan makes a wonderful gift for
the heads of the family, which can be passed down for
generation to generation to help keep track of the
lineage.
A Genealogy Print And Personalized Plaques
Another one of the ideas for family reunion gift giving
is the "Origin of Last Name" genealogy print,
which gives a little bit of a thoughtful review of family
history for $29.95. Personalized plaques can also commemorate
each family member and be given to the patriarch.
A wonderful book for the grandkids to give nana is
the "Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories" book,
which asks the family elder to write her answers to
a number of questions into the journal to be kept for
posterity. The $29.95 personalized family tree platter
is another nice gift.
Finding Help Online To Organize Your Family Reunion

you can get help organizing your family reunion, such
as www.family-reunion.com/organize and

stressful.
There are many details and family reunion ideas to
consider, but when you see the smiles on everyone’s
faces, you’ll know that your time has been well spent.

What type of games and activities can be planned for
family reunions?
There are many great games and
activities that can be played during family reunions.
Sometimes the old favorites are still the best. Games
such as horseshoes, volleyball, basketball and softball
are always big hits.
But it really all depends on
how many people are going to be attending. If it is
going to be a large gathering then you may do well to
have several activities. The younger children can also
get into the fun of games such as charades or hide and
seek. For those older individuals, you may want to plan
an activity looking over family photographs.
This can also be a great way
to show everyone how they are all related. Even the
simple project of drawing out a family tree can be a
fun activity. But just make sure that you do not over
schedule things.
You want it to be a casual gathering.
So make sure there is plenty of time for people to just
sit around and talk. Many may have not spoken to other
members of their family for quite some time.
