Trying to figure out what to get the kids on your holiday
list besides gift cards and underwear? Here are some ideas:
Free:
- Lego Club Subscription- specify age for Jr. version
- A Refrigerator Box- can be turned into absolutely anything
- Check Craigs Lists for free toys and clothing that may be gently used
- Hold a toy/clothing swap for New To You excitement
- Make a superhero cape from an old pillow case or towel, if you are good at sewing
Under $10
- Find some interesting things for all ages at ThinkGeek like zombie jerkey, giant plush microbes, sun art paper and LED construction bricks
- Visit 5 below, Christmas Tree Shop, and Job Lot. You can get a ton of stocking stuffers and great gifts for under $5 each
- Thinkfun has a variety of games and puzzles under $10 for the cognitive kiddo
- Playdoh- enough said
Under $20
- KiwiCrate gift/project box.- a single box for Crafty Christmas or Handmade Hannukah is 19.95 (or you can set up a 3 or six month subscription for $60 and up)
- Movie Tickets: go to AAA for a bonus pack discount
- Spot It by Blue Orange is a fast paced game that can travel just about anywhere
- Animal Monster hand tattoos can add a laugh to any conversation, as kids and adults make their hands talk like a giraffe
Under $50
- Legos- can’t go wrong
- At UncommonGoods you can find some incredibly unique items including the Gummy Bear Lights and a fire hose belt
And you must be a grandparent:
- Full Year Monthly Subscription to Kiwi Crate might set you back over $200, but each month an overflow of creative juices will occur within the home to which you send it
- Family Museum/Zoo Subrsciptions- I love the idea of the gift that keeps going all year round. Not only are you supporting a local business but you are encouraging growth and development
- Savings Bonds- for those under two, or that have everything under the sun
