American Family Day, which occurs on August 2, gives family members a chance to spend quality time together. They might also give one another gifts as a reminder of strong family bonds. Whether it's matching t-shirts or family heirlooms that get passed down the generations, people will find great gifts for American Family Day.
As a symbol of unity, families might buy matching t-shirts with the last name or a family photo printed on them. Some shirts, socks and jackets feature a creative face collage. Many families wear matching pajamas during get-togethers, including these gray plaid matching pajamas from Pajamagram seen below.
Give a grandmother a heart-shaped locket with pictures of her grandchildren inside. Charm bracelets can include charms with letters to indicate children or grandchildren's names and pet lovers might include a dog or cat charm. Buy your children baseball caps or beanies that say, "I Love My Parents." Parents and grandparents might enjoy slippers with their children and grandchildren's initials embroidered on them.
Since American Family Day falls on a Sunday this year, families might spend the day or weekend together. For picnics, make sure that you have a food basket or cooler, blanket and backpacks. Other outdoor eating options include barbecue cookouts, pizza makers and s'mores makers. Have a family breakfast with waffle makers and personalized coffee mugs. For a unique spin on ice cream socials, use a Hawaiian shaved ice maker.
Capture the Flag, cornhole, and basketball remain popular games for families. Card games, mahjong and jigsaw puzzles also bring relatives together. Consider buying a karaoke machine for singalongs and gaming consoles (such as XBox or Nintendo) for video game tournaments. Families gather together to watch favorite movies or home videos using a projector.
Some of the most precious gifts are keepsakes that last for generations. Fill a scrapbook with photos of family vacations, holidays and other special moments. Younger generations might prefer digital photo frames to display pictures. Older generations will appreciate a journal for writing down their life story. Decorate the house with a family portrait or family tree print on the walls, and a throw pillow with the names of family members embroidered on it. For the kitchen, a personalized serving plate or a cutting board with a favorite family recipe engraved on it would make lovely gifts. Another unique gift is a birthday reminder calendar, such as Woodbe Co.'s calendar.
