Next time a birthday comes around, don't run to the toy department at the store. Go to the craft section. Get a small plastic organizer bin and fill it with craft supplies (pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, brushes, etc.). This gift is perfect for a boy or a girl. Their mom will love a gift that involves being creative, plus it is already organized! Who needs another Hannah Montana something or blow 'em up toy? I would love my son to get a gift like this, and I know he would love to receive it! Try it.
What was the last birthday present you bought for a kid (not yours)? Does not have to be a crafty thing. I had never bought a crafty gift before this idea. :-)

We used my baby girl's formula can..took off the label and spray painted it then decorated it with buttons and filled it with washable markers, colored pencils, crayons, glue, a pencil sharpener and of course paper. The little girl and her mom loved it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. I'm sure it made hours of fun for her and her mom.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Great for all ages- and honestly, something that you could easily keep on hand for last minute gifts! It would never go out of style like character gifts!
ReplyDeleteI think the last gift we gave was Dr. Suess board books for a baby shower.
Great idea. I'll have to use that next time. I just bought birthday gifts today for some kiddos....CLOTHES! Their mom asked for fall clothes, and I went crazy at the consignment shop. They'll get plenty of toys from everyone else. (and I know they can't afford a lot of new clothes for their two kiddos.)
