Family Reunion Gifts

Unique gift giving ideas for every family member

Family reunion gifts and personalized family gifts are a wonderful way to add meaning to your family reunion. These gift ideas for families are as unique and memorable as the family itself.



From a handmade memory blanket to a family recipe book, family reunion gifts should celebrate your family and commemorate the family reunion. Coming up with those unique gift giving ideas is the tricky part.

To find the perfect gift, the first thing you must do is determine the recipient and purpose of the gift.

Are you looking for a small memento or party favor to give to all reunion participants as a souvenir of the event? {Go here for inexpensive party favors that you can make yourself!} Do you want to honor the oldest living member of your family? Or are you looking for something special to thank the family reunion planning committee?

I love this personalized family tree scroll that combines quotes with pictures. I'm also a big fan of the personalized family trees made from family names offered by CustomFamilyTreeARt.com.


Next, determine what kind of gift or token of appreciation would mean the most.

Have you ever read Gary Chapman's, "The Five Love Languages"? Not all people give and receive love in the same way. A beautiful poem read aloud might be more meaningful than a personalized beach towel - or the other way around! While one person might be over-the-top thrilled with fun family board games, the next person might better appreciate new research about your family heritage.

Before you get too excited about any particular product or idea, be sure that you've determined your budget.

Unfortunately, cases of the sky being the limit are few and far between. Do you have siblings or cousins that might want to contribute money towards a special gift? Have you incorporated reunion favors into each participant's registration fee?



The best family reunion gifts are individual and unique. Turn a picture into a puzzle or fashion other personalized gifts. Ideas range from unusual photo gifts to signed books to unique t-shirts. Personal photo calendars, engraved jewelry, service gift certificates, flowers and gift baskets are also wonderful options.

Keep in mind that unique gift giving ideas are developed when you spend time thinking about your options and thoughtfully matching a gift to its recipient. Meaningful gifts rarely happen by magic. Rather, they stem from the thought behind the gift. It really is the thought that counts!
