Gifting Sense helps children get ready for all of the personal finance decisions that lie in their future - by having them thoughtfully consider what they might like to receive for birthday or holiday gifts - which teaches them how to think before they buy! We do this in free, interactive, hands-on, in-classroom workshops, at schools and community centres, in person or online. Our site and service has been carefully designed to help children easily understand the true value of a request, and if they will really use and appreciate a wish-list item – before they ask for it. We help families avoid purchases that aren't likely to be fully used and appreciated. Our process also contributes to fewer landfill contributions, which often take the form of "gently-used" clothing or toys. Parenting experts in Canada say we are changing the conversations families are having about money. But don't take anyone else's word for it - the next time your children want something, ask them to calculate the DIMS - Does It Make Sense?® Score, and see if we can't help you give them the habit of thinking before buying - otherwise known as one of the best gifts ever! #GiveMoneySmartz
