Does anyone have any ideas for gifts for kids that include some personal development material?Books,games,etc?
Every year we like to give our boys (who are 12 and 15)something for Christmas that's educational and promoting personal development along with the toys and other stuff so they can learn and grow. Does anyone have some good ideas?
I don't intend for the fallowing to sound like the focus is on money. Jim Rohn is a powerful author and has many ideas that pertain to life outside of money. Money should come after success and personal development anyway.
Jim Rohn covers the three places to begin for any teenager (or adult) in their quest for a future full of success, happiness and wealth.
1. Price and promise – the power of vision and setting goals.
2. Personal development – expanding your knowledge through books, tapes, seminars and other successful people.
3. The principles of wealth – earning, saving, giving and investing.
Over the years, Jim Rohn has heard from thousands of people – many who saw or heard Jim early in their life who later went on to achieve success. Don't let yourself or your family miss out on this powerful 56 minute video that can inspire, teach and lead you to success.

I am not quite sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but best of luck I think what you're doing is a great idea.
