kfeusse Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 when my kids were little, this would have been a no brainer...but now that they are older...not so much. Someone gave me a $40 gift card and I want to spend it, but I don't know on what. Can you help me?? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 They have scrapbooking supplies and jewelry making supplies that might be liked by older kids. Sketchbooks and colored pencils or markers? Teacher supplies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I just received an order from them. They have great custom photo banners for $20 and under. I ordered one for my son's graduation and it looks great. I also ordered cupcake wrappers, paper lanterns, a huge tablecloth roll, and cupcake/cookie treat bags. In the past year I also ordered solid colored tableware for parties, glow sticks, and various craft supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Are you a church member? With VBS coming up, I know most churches could find plenty of ways to spend that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I would probably get something from their Teaching Supplies/Storage section. Bulletin board storage box looks appealing because I have lots of charts that are just shoved by the wall. http://www.orientaltrading.com/bulletin-board-storage-box-a2-62_9570.fltr?prodCatId=551433 Classroom Organizer Book Storage Bins also look great. Those would definitely get used. http://www.orientaltrading.com/classroom-organizer-book-storage-bins-a2-62_6.fltr?prodCatId=551433 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfeusse Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 I just noticed that they carry some Mindware things...like these games, but I think they are too young for my family...what do you know about that? Cirplexed Dizios Animal Trivia Challenge Destination USA they also have the extreme dot-to -dot, but my kids have had many of those...but they did have sort of a cool "adult color by number" books...but again, I don't know if they are too young for my kids...they look like they might be for older kids...but the concept is sort of younger kid...yes?? this is so much harder than I ever thought it would be. I did consider the church, Bible school idea, but our church has more than they need in that department right now...and I often donate that kind of thing to them...so I was hoping to be a bit 'selfish" and find something for myself or our family...but I am really not seeing anything that stands out and yells "buy me". I even looked at their totes...but they didn't get very good reviews...so those are out. (and I really don't need any totes anyway). sigh!!!
