Video gift ideas, tips and stories from Tribute -- how to plan, record and share group video tributes for every occasion.
The best Thanksgiving present for teacher appreciation from a whole class is one every family can join: a class video where each student says what they're thankful for, a video book, a funded classroom project on DonorsChoose, a warm mug for early mornings, or a box of fall treats for the teachers' lounge. Pool small amounts from each family and one gift from the class beats 25 mugs from 25 kids.
The best New Year's ideas for couples turn the night into a date with a plan: recreate your first date, book a staycation in your own city, run a blind champagne tasting, take a dance lesson in the living room or play a surprise video from the people who love you both. Each one below works at home or close to it, and most cost less than two tickets to a party.
Grief during the holidays tends to show up in small places: the empty chair, the stocking nobody hangs, the recipe nobody makes the same way. What helps most families is to plan less than usual, choose one or two ways to remember the person out loud, such as lighting a candle or sharing stories at the table, and let each person grieve at their own pace. There is no right way to do this season, and you can change your mind as you go.
The best traditions for your first Christmas married are small enough to repeat every year: buy a dated first ornament together, send your first card as a couple, plan the holiday split with both families early, blend one tradition from each side and write each other a letter to open on a future Christmas. Add a surprise love video from your wedding guests, and the season that used to belong to your parents starts to feel like yours.
The best New Year's Eve activities fit the night you want: a living room ball drop watch party, a year-in-review group video played before midnight, a noon countdown for small kids, a fondue dinner for two or a skate under the lights downtown. Below are 13 ideas sorted by at home, with kids, as a couple and out of the house, each with the time and cost it takes.
The best family friendly New Year's Eve activities fit the kids' bedtime: a Noon Year's Eve countdown, countdown bags that open on the hour, minute-to-win-it games, a family New Year's video for the relatives far away and a time capsule to open next year. Every idea below works with toddlers, tweens and grandparents in the same room, and none of them need a babysitter or a late night.
The best Thanksgiving activities fill the long hours around the meal: a morning turkey trot, a parade breakfast, a thank-you video premiere, a thankful tree, handprint place cards for the kids, a cider tasting for the adults and a walk after dinner. Mix one morning activity, one for the kids' table and one gratitude activity, and the day has a shape.
The best Father’s Day gifts from the kids are the ones the kids can actually give — in their own voice, with their own hands, saying exactly what a child says when asked to say something genuine about their dad.
Bonus dad Father’s Day gifts acknowledge something that deserves acknowledgment: the man who chose to be present, who didn’t have to show up and did anyway, who built a father-child relationship without the default of biology.
A Father’s Day video montage collects personal video messages from the people who love your dad — his kids, grandkids, siblings, old friends, whoever matters to him — and combines them into a single polished video he can watch on the day and return to whenever he needs it. This guide walks through how to…
Happy Father’s Day is one of those phrases that can mean everything or nothing depending on how you say it. Said as a text with an emoji attached, it’s pleasant.

These 15 ideas cover every format from low-effort to…
What to write in a Father’s Day card is one of those problems that feels small and turns out not to be — because you’re staring at a blank card for a person you care about, and “Happy Father’s Day!” doesn’t feel like enough, but you’re not sure where to start. This guide gives you…
Father’s Day gifts for a stepdad hit differently when they acknowledge the specific quality that defines the relationship: he chose this.
The best Father’s Day gifts for grandpa are the ones that acknowledge what he actually is to the family: the person whose choices and sacrifices made everything that came after him possible.
Luxury Father’s Day gifts are worth giving when they represent a genuine quality difference — not a premium price tag on a commodity, but a product where the craftsmanship, materials, or experience is measurably better than what exists in a lower tier. The best luxury gifts for Dad are the ones he would never buy…
