The holiday season is upon us, everything around us is festive and exciting, our calendars fill up and if you’re a GRIN2B parent…anxiety is likely also creeping in. What do I buy for my GRIN2B kiddo? How many teachers, therapists, aides, bus drivers, tutors, etc do I need/want to shop for? Our hope with this Holiday Gift Guide is to take a little bit of the pressure off.
Skip the crowds this weekend, curl up in front of your computer and start online shopping! Please enjoy our very first GRIN2B Foundation Holiday Gift Guide! We have both a list of vendors that give back to GRIN2B Foundation AND ideas for your GRIN2B kiddos.
