Homemaker Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 We are hosting our church's small group's christmas party and I need something for the kids. We will not be doing any games with them (not enough time), they will just have a small wrapped gift. What is something small and CHEAP I can get for them (preferably around $1 a kid or close to it). I was probably going to get 1 thing for the boys and 1 thing for the girls. I thought about going to the dollar store, but wanted to see if there is something else better out there or see if anyone else had a good idea. Thanks so much!

KLynnTX Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 What about a Christmas tree ornament? Check out Oriental Trading they have ideas for something I'm sure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Wal-Mart has some neat $1 toys. I picked up finger bowling and a paddleball for DD for stocking stuffers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise in Florida Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Candy Canes. Seriously, one year I had to decorate a tree for a Christmas musical, I used dollar store tinsel garland, red bows and candy canes. After the musical all the kids wanted a candy cane and I told them to go ahead. Most of them said it was the high-light of the evening. :001_rolleyes: Of course, your view of the amusement value of 19 kids consuming candy before Christmas might vary. If you don't want to do candy, I would also suggest the party store. Look for cheap costume stuff such as halos, wise men crowns, Santa hats, etc. They can wear them at the party and be festive.

jacqui in mo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Dollar Tree also often has some neat things in packages that can be opened up and distributed to several kids, so you can have several things in each gift. I've gotten interesting packages of erasers, unusual paper clips, toy cars, sticky notes, decorated pencils, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollie010 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 For some reason I thought this post was about the Duggars before I opened it up. That was my first thought, too. Oriental trading has lots of cheap "party favor" type stuff. You could put together a little bag with a few of them each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
