A 2020 study found parents are most likely to buy gifts and toys for their kids from popular TV shows. However, what happens when kids outgrow the TV show or the show loses popularity? All those toys get tossed aside and end up in a landfill. The same study from 2020 found that only 20% of kids will receive a memory making gift this holiday season. Of course you want to buy your kids plenty of toys this holiday season, but you can also get them a gift that will stand the test of time and create lifelong memories too.<\/p>\n<p>This is what the Growlers are doing to help&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-19991\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-300x169.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27300%27%20height%3D%27169%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20300%20169%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27300%27%20height%3D%27169%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/Kid-Image-for-Article.png 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We created a family 5-pack that is specifically designed to give your kids gifts for Christmas and use up that wrapping paper, while also giving them fun experiences all year long at Kalamazoo\u2019s own little piece of Disney World with characters, celebrities, and shows they\u2019ll never forget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This Christmas gift comes with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>All You Can Eat.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> You get all of the hot dogs, brats, burgers, chips, soda and water you want for 4 innings.
