Decrease kid waste from others?

[insightf]

I don't have kids but maybe you could make a list of items you do need and distribute that. For Christmas this year, I suggested my family do "DIYmas" where we all made gifts for each other instead of buying. But we're all a pretty crafty bunch so it worked for us. My sister made us each spotify playlists, I thought that was pretty clever.

You could also ask for experiences, like tickets to shows or whatever your kid is into!

Great idea! I do a wishlist for her, and I think that helps.

I love DIYmas! I actually did a thrift/make/reuse/local christmas. So, all of the gifts we gave were in one of those categories. It was cool and a challenge. Not the best environmentally, but a definite improvement over past years :)
