Think Before You Buy:
Hands-On Workshop

Gifting Sense workshops move thinking before buying from something kids do to “get what they want”, to something that helps them want items and experience that make sense.

Children learn how to make informed spending decisions that align with their family's needs and values in an engaging way. Let's normalize that being a thoughtful consumer does not mean you never get to do or buy anything fun.
