Gift Idea for Kids' Gift Exchange

[havaneselover]

My son was invited to a neighbor's Christmas party for children. Their kids are 11, 9, 7, and 5. They were asked to bring a gift ($10 limit) for a gift exchange. Any ideas? I am at a loss. Hoping it is something I can pick up at Target or Walmart. Thanks!

I know at Bed Bath & Beyond they sell these cool Angry Bird boomerang foam airplane type things. Little lip smaker lipgloss sets are always good for girls as well as fuzzy socks or neon colored socks. For boys, you could try a paddleball or a jack set, or maybe if you can find a small figurine or 2. For figurines I recommend super heros; like something from the avengers.

Angry birds stuff is popular with boys and girls, and across that age range. Both Walmart and target have all kinds of angry bird related stuff.

Agree with previous posters, but could also do some classic stuff.

A couple of Mad Lib books and some cool mechanical pencils, a nicer set of coloured pencils or markers, pack of Uno cards, a classicy game they may not have - I saw mastermind is back, it was $10 at Target I think it was the other day. Other classic games in travel form - Connect Four has a zip-up pouch version, small wooden chess set, etc.

Thanks so much for the awesome suggestions! These are very helpful.

Spot It! or the card game Blink! My daughter loves those and I think they around $10

Thanks! Blink sounds great and we actually have Spot It. These ideas are so helpful for both the gift exchange and stocking stuffers for my children.

My son recently purchased a snuggie and a few boxes of the movie theater style candy and wrapped that up for a $10 yankee swap gift

What about a $5 Christmas movie and some snacks? Or any kind of make your own kits. Kids love to make stuff.

A cheap nerf toy...those are always a good bet
