Because I’m not a fan of clutter, every Christmas I work hard to find gifts for our kids that they will enjoy throughout the year. Some challenge their minds, some keep them warm, and some are just plain fun.
We teach our kids the true meaning of Christmas: that it is about Christ and his gift of salvation to people, so not every “gift” has to be a toy. I think the best gifts are time spent together making memories with our children. And these are gifts that they (and you) will treasure for many years to come.
That’s why I created this printable Christmas coupon book, and I’m giving it to you as a free printable download, too! It is filled with ideas for spending time together. I am putting one in each of my kids’ stockings this year and I can’t wait to see their faces. I know we will all enjoy them!
There are 17 coupons and one cover. Feel free to print the coupons that apply to your child’s interests and build a coupon book that you will both enjoy.
Some of the ideas include:
- A Date with Daddy/Mommy
- Movie Night with Popcorn
- Make Ice Cream Sundaes
- 30 Minutes Extra Screen Time
- Pizza Night for Dinner
- Family Game Night
- …and a bunch more!
Would you like to print these coupons with YOUR OWN ideas? I have a fully editable/customizable version in my Printables Shop HERE. There are 20 editable coupons and 1 cover with editable areas for giver and receiver.

Great article! We did these (in handwritten form) when our boys were young. We also encouraged them to use their imagination & create their own books to give as gifts, emphasizing the giving of self & service, not $$ spent. So many possibilities…
Elin says
What a great idea, do you allow your children to choose when to use each coupon?

I love it! These are so cute and thoughtful. I really try to find gifts that are clutter-free (especially for stockings!) and these are perfect. Thanks Ginny!

Just printed these, stapled together and stuffed in the stockings while little boy slept in front of fireplace…can’t wait to see what they pick when!

This are absolutely adorable! Thank you for filling them in for us and for sharing them for free! Our “elf on the shelf” will leave these for my girls on his last night 🙂
I appreciate your blog and all your advice!

Hi Ginny, it’s really nice. I wish I found this post sooner. I love your blog. Hopefully, I will learn more experiences from you. Thanks.

I gave these to my kids for Christmas this year, because we planned on a ‘no-toys’ Christmas this year (they get plenty from other relatives). We’ve already used 3 of the coupons, but instead of just turning it in and having it be used up, we’re making them unlimited use coupons, and on the back of each coupon, I’m writing the date and place/activity we did (e.g. Go out of Ice Cream – place and what ice cream they ordered). At the end of the year, I hope it’ll be a great memory keepsake for them of all the fun things we did this year!

Our Elf on the Shelf gave those to our kids this Christmas. They love it ! We speak French, but it helps them with their English, which is good. The graphics look fabulous ! I printed them at Staples on cardboard and I used the perforated blade on my paper trimmer to make it easy for them to remove one of the coupons. The end product was very neat. Thank you very much !

Nice post ! thank you for your share!
Nicole says
If I buy the $5 editable option, can I change the text on all of the coupons? They are cute ideas but most of them don’t apply to us. I want to make sure I can use all of the cute picture coupons. Thanks

I can’t wait to do the activities with my Daughters.

I can not get the font to change on the editable PDF download. I downloaded the Poetson font, and installed it, but the PDF has a default font/size and it won’t change it to the other font or let me change the size. Any ideas? I have asked a few computer nerds and they couldn’t get it to work either. 🙁 If anyone else is having the same issue, did you get it resolved?
Lesli says
Hi! I am so glad I found your site! Question- my printer broke and I cannot print from home. Would I be able to send to staples and print from them?
Thank you,
Tessie says
These are so adorable!!!! What is the name of the font you use, because it is so cute that i’d like to use it for everyday labeling!
Thanks
