This is the 3rd year of our Thompson Reunion in the 21st Century. I have been trying to find inexpensive but nice giveaway items. I would like to give each family group something to take away from the reunion.Question is do I want to go with something generic that I know will be used like a pen or something. Or do I want to give it the genealogy spin?
Do I want to make it an activity of some sort? There is a website dazzle.com that will take a picture and make it into a puzzle.
What could I keep the younger generation entertained with? Something that they could take home with them to remember those hot Illinois reunion days in the future. This is a challenge with children ranging from newborns to teenagers.
I was thinking about what I have that reminds me of the reunions of the past century. All we really have are photos and our memories...which tend to fade. So how do I find something more lasting.
Checking out a website called gifts.com. I remembered the guess how many in a jar game when I saw customized M&Ms. I could have the M&Ms printed with the family name and place a counted amount in a jar. Give everyone a chance to guess. Give the adult closest a family related giveaway item and the youth closest the jar of M&Ms. Taking a picture for posterity of course!
So many options with the Internet! The search continues!
