    Default Help! Need Ideas For Gift bags

    First, Sorry if i Put this in the wrong forum didn't know exactly were to Put it.

    My daughters first birthday is coming the end of May and i wanted to give away nice gift bags to the children who are coming. So my question is ideas? I have some idea about the girls(but still need help) ,but for the boys i am at a lost(not many in my family)Also any coupon and store match ups that would make these items near FREE. I have been the cleraence section at the drugstores. I found somethings but i need moreThe ages of the children coming range from 6months- 18 years old, so i would like to make age approperate bags. I have already bought the johnson buddies soap for the younger kids and granola bars to go in the bags.
    Thank you

    There will be a coupon for AXE in this Sunday's paper(either in redplum or unilever insert). If I remember correctly it does Not state "can not be used on trial sizes". Target often carries the axe bodywash in trial size you should be able to get these free or close to free. Hopefully that will help with some of the older boys.
    With some of the younger ones I like to give toothbrushes and character band aids. I know there are Q's floating around for these. If you don't have the q's also check the trial sizes for the band aids.

    Hi ... six months to 18 months is a hard age to buy for --- I would suggest visiting a dollar-store and look for multi-pack toys like whistles, bubbles, beads, plastic animals, puzzles, hair clips, ect ... also, little candies/cookies/treats could be made at home for little cost, too ...
    Is there anything in your life that you would like to change? You can dream about it, talk about it, worry about it, but nothing happens until you do something about it.

    Default Boys like food.

    My nephews who are 21, 16, 14, 3 & 2, all pretty much like food. All food is good, but if it can make your tongue blue or green all the better. Squirt guns are good too.
    Have coupons, will travel.

    I get alot of stuff at the dollar store for my DD b-day gifts. She is 3 so all of our guests are princess fans. Another idea is to check clearance sections after easter next weekend. There will be candy and other stuff mixed in that will be cheap, especially after q's. If you have a Target near you they always have good clearance and usually have a bunch of stuff that is on clearance but is not holiday at all. For example, in the valentines day clearance at Target I found packages of crayola crayons for around .30. They were regular crayons, no valentines decor on them at all but for some reason they sold them as valentines stuff so they were clearanced.
    Addicted to couponing!
