disney gifts for kids

[disfan07]

OK, so heres my situation:


i babysit for a family that has 4 kids...3 boys ages 9,6, adn 1 adn a girl age 3.
they are going to DW fo rth efirst time in january but the kids dont know yet....im going in august with a friend so their mom asked me if i could pick up a few things for each of them for hanukkah and that would be their way of telling their kids that they are going in january....she sadi that the only request she really has is that she would like at least 1 of the items something that they can use on the trip in january but no more than $50 total for each of them.
now heres the problem...ive nerv shopped fo rkids at disney beforeand im not sure hwat is goo dfor each age

heres what ive thought of so far:
definteily an autograph book for the 3 yr old adn 6 yr old b/c they both love watching the disney movies and talking about meeting the characters someday...but othe rthan that im not sure

if anyone has any suggestions, that woul dbe great!!!!

I think the autograph books would be good for all 3 of the older ones. Maybe hats for all 4 - ballcaps or Mickey ears. T-shirts or lanyards would also be an idea.

Definitely the autograph book. Look into getting a 'fat' pen to go with it.

How about pressed penny books? DD3 loved hers when we were there and my nephew (11) is very excited to hunt down the machines when they go next month...the mom could find the M&M containers at home to add to it when it came time to give them.

I like the lanyard idea as well. Maybe even a personalized pin for each to put on it...

Hats are tricky. Not sure if they will fit, then to have to pack/take them back down to WDW again--could be a pain.

For the little one, I know they have 'sippy' cups, squeezie toys or even a plush...

Good luck--I would have a ball with it, but I would also have a hard time staying within that budget for 4 kids!

Thanks...yeah i think im going to have fun with this btu the $50 budget will be hard.....but its really just stuff to get them started and excited fro the trip as hanukkah presents...they'll probably end up spending a lot more than that on each kid when they actually go down in january
