CARETAKERS/MOMS/DADS/GRANDPARENTS/NANNIES
- I am a HUGE mental health advocate. One of the few things I do for myself when I am feeling the need to de-stress is to go get a massage. If you're looking to give the gift of relaxation to yourself or someone you care about, this momma suggests OASIS DAY SPA in Weymouth! Oasis Day Spa is located right in Columbian Square, around the corner from the Weymouth Cameo Theatre. They have EVERYTHING! Facials, massages, pedicures, manicures, makeup-and so much more! It's literally like being away on vacation! A DAY-Cation if you will! Check out Oasis Day Spa today and grab a gift card for someone you love, or yourself-being self love is important!! Make sure to mention MACARONI KID to receive a special enhancement on your massage or pedicure! https://relaxatoasis.com/
- Gift cards to restaurants. Of course there are a LOT of restaurants around, but some of the best you'll find in this guide! ...Stockholders (Steak House) in Weymouth https://www.stockholderssteakhouse.com/ ; Amelia's Steak House in Stoughton http://www.ameliasstoughton.com/ ; Legal Seafoods in Braintree https://www.legalseafoods.com/locations/braintree-forbes-road/ ; Davio's in Braintree (right inside the South Shore Plaza!) https://davios.com/braintree ; Crepes n Capes in Weymouth https://crepesncapes.com/
- Fuzzy Socks, Warm Fluffy Blankets-or better yet-a chance to make their own blanket! South Shore Blanket Parties offers workshops where you are taught at your pace how to create a beautiful, hand crocheted chunky knit blanket! I've been very fortunate to attend one of their events and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! Check them out https://www.southshoreblanketparties.com/
- Admission to a RAGE ROOM! Have you ever had so much built up aggression that it made life almost completely unenjoyable?! A great outlet to that? SMASH SOME STUFF!!!! Check out JUST SMASH IT in Avon! Where you can get in PPE gear and use the ''weapon'' of your choice to smash bottles, tvs, antiques, you name it! What a great gift! https://justsmashitofficial.com/
- For that person in your life who LOVES to have their hair played with, scalp massaged or head scratched (like me!), VERDE SALON in Braintree hits the spot! This salon is GORGEOUS! They have the nicest staff as well! https://verdesalon.org/
EXPERIENCE GIFTS
Of course, all gifts are appreciated...but There is nothing worse than having it look like a tornado went through your house on Christmas morning - SO. MANY. TOYS.
But there is a solution to that! EXPERIENCE GIFTS! Gifts that your kiddo is going to remember! And parents, it is TOTALLY okay to send this list to grandparents, aunts and uncles to give them a heads up - we are part of the PLEASE DON'T SEND MORE TOYS OUR WAY Club!
Here are my suggestions for EXPERIENCES:
- Tickets to a sports game, theater or show. Local productions are often pretty inexpensive. Check out local high schools and middle schools in your area that have theater programs with tickets available to the public. Like the MARIA WESTON CHAPMAN MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSICAL CLUB AND CHORUS This club and chorus group is lead by two VERY talented musicians, Miss McDonough and Mister Cawley. The kids in this group work SO HARD and it shows! They've all got an amazing amount of talent and put on shows that NEVER disappoint! Make sure to check out the next public showing!
- Dance lessons at South Shore Dance Academy are sure to bring a smile to that little ballerina or popstar in your life! Located right off of Pleasant Street in Weymouth, Miss Sara (and little Miss Sara) are amazing teachers for kids of all ages. They lead the kids through the art of dance and expression. https://www.facebook.com/ssdanceacademy/
- Or maybe cheerleading at Premier Spirit Athletics for that kiddo who dreams of one day being a flyer?! Ashley Doran is this cheer facilities fearless leader! She does amazing things with these kids and they'll go on to compete once ready! Check them out today! https://premierspiritathletics.com/
- Another vote for our family would be MY GYM BRAINTREE! My Gym in Braintree offers MANY classes for kiddos of all ages and stages! They start from itty bitty babies and go up into NINJA TRAINING! That place is a BLAST! https://www.mygym.com/braintree
- One of my personal favorite places to visit is MAPLEWOOD COUNTRY DAY CAMP in Easton. It is FULL of fun things for the kids! The facility is HUGE! They have different themed days for visits and offer punch cards for repeat visits! Definitely a great choice for an EXPERIENCE GIFT https://www.maplewoodyearround.com/
- When I think of an EXPERIENCE gift, I think of something my kids will benefit from in multiple ways. Like brain development and knowledge. If that is something you're interested in your kiddo expanding on, you have got to grab them a membership to CHILDREN'S MUSEUM IN EASTON https://www.cmeaston.org/
- Give the gift of WATER SAFETY! GOLDFISH SWIM SCHOOL in Braintree offers different levels of swim lessons. Learning to swim is an important part of life, and it's a necessary knowledge! Goldfish Swim School in Braintree is offering GIFT packages for the holiday season! Grab yours today! https://goldfishswimschool.com/braintree/?y_source=1_MTYwNjg0MzktNzE1LWxvY2F0aW9uLndlYnNpdGU%3D
- The gift of CREATION! Let your kids explore their creativity through art and painting with HANDFUL OF FORTUNES! Kid's Paint Nights and facepainting is the specialty!! Follow their page on social media to keep up to date for paint nights, book a private paint night or facepainting party package! https://www.facebook.com/handsfullheartsfullB
- If you've got an adventurous person in your life, you NEED to get them tickets to TREE TOP ADVENTURES in Canton! I took my kids and their friends there for a climb and it was just BREATHTAKING-literally, they were holding their breath the whole time It's truly an adventure! https://treetopcanton.com/
- If your kids have a sweet tooth but you'd rather NOT bring candy into the house, a gift certificate to an ice cream shoppe is where the sugar is at!!! Check out FOLEY'S in Braintree or EE'S in Weymouth! Our top favorites!
Keep checking this list, it will only get bigger! Happy Holidays!
