STAYING IN
One of the challenges of a large family is moving everyone all at the same time. So, staying in is always an option. Here is how to make it an awesome option:
Movie Night
Movie night is a classic and rightly so! You can really customize this gift to your audience and it is very budget flexible. But, definitely check if they have floor space before you deliver a family-sized bean bag chair to their house!

Game Night
Games are an incredible choice for large families. Want to suggest crazy amounts of family time? Get them a 42,000 piece puzzle! On second thought, you should probably make sure they have a spare 21 feet. Oh, my!

OUTDOOR FUN
Big families can mean big fun! Gathering round a firepit or taking the crew camping is the perfect time for classic scary stories. Even without the fire and roadtrip scary stories are always a hit for large groups!

KITCHEN COLLECTION
What is more celebrated than family sharing a meal? Bring the crew to the table with these fun options. A pancake breakfast is a people pleaser but this may also be an opportunity to pick up something a little exotic, obscure, and expensive – something, that a would not make it onto a large family’s regular grocery list.

BATHROOM COLLECTION
Everybody goes! And, in a house with a large family, you know the bathroom gets a lot of traffic. Why not embrace it with a collection of bathroom specific gifts that everyone will enjoy?
Start with a cute box like this one:

ELECTRONICS & APPLIANCES
Gadgets can definitely get pricey but if you are buying for a family you will get your money’s worth. A classic Nintendo is still two-player but it brings the family together with nostalgia and patience. Remember when we had to wait and take turns? And, if it is not in their budget but is in yours a really nice camera to capture all those thousands of moments is a real blessing.

PERSONAL & PERSONALIZED
Depending on the size of the family you are shopping for getting something meaningful to each family member can be hard and expensive. The real trick, if this is your route, is to shop early and find sales.
Personalized plates
You can get these on sale for around $10 per plate and it would be a really fun thing to give everyone. Who doesn’t like eating macaroni off their own face?
Make a Date
Instead of buying eight presents right now make a ‘date’ with each family member and take them somewhere they would enjoy throughout the year.
Family Photo Shoot
Can you provide a decent point and click experience? Getting a family photo is hard enough with 2.5 kids so offering to take a nice group shot could be a real service to a large family.
MEMBERSHIPS/ EXPERIENCES
The best gifts are the ones that live on. Experiences are an amazing option. The gift could be a sizeable one that leads to more exploration and play like a treehouse, Swing Set, Zipline, trampoline, or garden plot. Or it could be a reason to get out of the house like an escape room experience, tickets to a minor league game, museum membership, or a treasure hunt.
Another option is subsidizing an experience. Dining out and hotel rooms are expensive especially when you need to double up. Gift cards to favorite restaurants or AirBnB are a great option for large families and allow you to gift within your means.
