The best family gifts tend to be the ones that get used together, not divided up — a board game, a subscription to something everyone actually watches, or a small trip planned for the new year.
An annual ornament for the family tree is a quieter version of the same idea: one gift, opened together, added to a growing collection that tells the story of the whole household over time.
Whatever you choose, look for something that creates a shared moment rather than four separate ones.
