Cheap Souvenirs For Nieces & Nephews?

[NvrBnToWDW]

PLEASE HELP!

I have 6 nephews & 3 nieces and I would like to bring them back a little goody bag. Do you have any suggestions for cheap and/or
free items that I could get at WDW to put in their bags?

If you have transportation check out the WDW outlets at Belz Outlet Mall. We have bought T-shirts for a little as $5.00

I don't know how old they are, but for my four (all under age 8), I put together little goody bags with the Mickey head-shaped straws (usually around .25 at the food courts), Mickey pretzels, Mickey & friends cookies, stickers and something like a pin or a magnet or something along those lines.

For older kids, it would probably be tougher ...

I also agree w/jkovick that the outlets are a great place to look for inexpensive goodies!

We went to the outlet mall off of I-4 at Exit 68 (it's not a Belz outlet). It is located right behind Dixie Stampede.

Great deals -- everything was at least 50% off (with the exception of their pins, which seemed to be full price).

For great freebies make sure you stock up on your in-room soaps and shampoos A friendly mousekeeper may even give you some extra!

I had a similar problem in that I wanted to get small gifts for the other kids in my DD's daycare (6 of various ages) plus a bit nicer gift for her care provider. We ended up getting Mickey playing cards for the older boys ($5 each plus tax), princess and partner dancing wind-up toys for the girls ($3.50 plus tax and we got Belle and Beast, Cinderella and Prince Charming and Ariel with her beau... don't remember his name) and "bouncy balls" that light up when they hit the ground for the youngest (these were $5 including tax and had a Mickey face on them). I saw these at most of the stores so we got them the last day at the resort store. I also saw some fun straws and cups that were in the $5 and under range as were the magnets.

I have to admit that I also bought "souvenirs" at our local Disney Store for Christmas or birthday gifts later. I got t-shirts for $3-$6 (no tax in Oregon ) and some other small toys such as a set of 4 princesses for $1.99 and an Ariel "cell" phone for $5 (they had other characters such as Pooh and Woody from Toy Story).

If you're going with a child (or even just with adults) ask for the Mickey stickers that CMs hand out. I think my DD got at least 2 sets each day. If I'd planned better, I'd have kept enough to give to the day care kids in addition to the toys. I also wish I'd bought an extra set of lollipops while we were there. I think we got 5 for $3-$4. Another idea I had was to get a set of pins and split them up. However, since I had such a wide age range to work around, I decided to go with toys that were age appropriate.
