Gifting Historian and Author Aileen Avery Shares Holiday Gifts for Kids on Tips on TV Blog

It is important for kids to know that there are children out there facing some serious challenges this holiday season. Here is a toy that is very special because it is so meaningful to the kids who get it. It is a gift that cannot be bought, but it means an awful lot to children facing cancer during the holiday season and all year round. The My Special Aflac Duck is a comforting robot that uses medical play to help children cope when they have been diagnosed with cancer. It helps them express their feelings and comforts them like a true friend. The insurance company, Aflac, is giving them to hospitals around the country, free of charge, for every child 3 and older who has been diagnosed with cancer. In just one year, Aflac has provided more than 6,000 of these special gifts for very special children. It is a gift that is hoped your children will never need, but it is important to remind our kids that there are children out there struggling with their health, and it is important to keep them in mind during the holidays. Medical providers can go to Aflacchildhoodcancer.org to register to order ducks for all their patients.
