More than just gifts

I thought this was a great tip that came in a recent weekly newsletter I get from the people at Fathers.com : Ask your kids what they remember getting last year at Christmas. The idea is to remind them of the temporal nature of material gifts. My wife asked our son what he remembered last year, and I was surprised that the first thing he mentioned wasn't one of the higher-ticket items we got for him, but a slide whistle that allowed him to make silly sounds like the ones in Looney Tunes cartoons. If I recall, it cost $1.
