Giving a group gift can be the best option when holidays are a family affair. Instead of individual presents (and the attendant out of control budgets and clutter), here are a few of our favorites for the whole family to enjoy together.
1. Table Top Air Hockey ($16.29, Wayfair)
2. Family Membership at a Reciprocal Network Participant in the Association of Children's Museums (prices vary)

Oh, we've got two Sonos Play 3 and one Play 5, and the whole family loves it! You can listen to the same music in different rooms (christmas songs etc.) or you can split it up and, for example, in the kitchen my hubby empties the dishwasher with some rock'n roll, while the others in the living room are listening to a audiobook or whatever. Plus you can operate it via your smartphone, tablet or laptop. It's gorgeous!
My favorite group gift is a Zoku pop maker. You put it in the freezer and then you can make popsicles in 7-9 minutes. It's loads of fun and a great healthy dessert option since we usually make them with fresh fruit in them.
I also think a museum membership is worth it. The level we have ours at includes unlimited planetarium visits, discounts for special classes and events, a certain number of free IMAX tickets and free visits to any museum that is a member of the Association of Childrens Museums including one an hour from our house. The membership more than pays for itself.
