We love to laude our local peeps, but don’t worry we’ve also included some great gifts and makers from around the interwebs and even some amazon picks for that last minute prime shipping! (Affiliate links are included, which means if you buy something from amazon you’re not charged a penny extra but it helps us to continue to run the blog and HIVEhope, so thank you!)

We always encourage experiences over things for so many reasons. Namely because toys + things will be broken, forgotten and outgrown, but experiences become memories and are the perfect way to spend more quality time with those you love. One of our absolute favorites, and worth every cent, is a reciprocal museum membership. This membership through the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History has allowed us to get into museums all over the country and has paid for itself multiple times over. We can’t recommend it enough.

If you aren’t local, check out the Association of Science and Technology Centers to see what museums in your area participate.
