Give the child in your life the gift of a fun "date" with you. Make and decorate a coupon for them to unwrap, detailing the destination and plan for a date with you. It will be sure to be a favorite tradition for years to come!
Ideas:

• Attend a sporting event together.
• Check out a local theater production, musical, or ballet.
• Order takeout and play board games at home together.
