Ok, so I got the free wall clock and popcorn tin at TRU for the TS3 release. My BF's little cousins (around 12 yrs old) are really into Woody and Buzz. One of them was THRILLED beyond belief at her birthday party with all the Woody stuff she received. Mostly bigger stuff, like a blanket, a cowboy hat, a shirt and such.

Well I wanted to fill the popcorn tin up with Toy Story goodies, that the two girls could unwrap together and decide who got what. I figured things like stickers, pencils, notepad, maybe a few little figurines. I'm hoping I can get my friend at Disney to ship me over two ornaments with Woody and Buzz on it.

Does the Dollar Store sell these kinds of things? What store would be the best place to look for it? I want the ornaments to be the highlight of the bin (at about 7$ a piece), so everything else is to be cheaper.
 
I know I saw a lot of TS3 stuff at the dollar spot at Target, and in the stocking stuffer section at Michael's. I have a little boy who is *obsessed* with Woody and Buzz, so I've been grabbing small stuff here and there. Good luck!!! :)
 
Yup, dollar section at Target has/had a nice selection of TS3 stuff. You could probably fill the tin for a ten bucks.
 
Are you near a Party Store? I know they have TS themed party stuff, and usually that means goodie bags, small items etc for those goodie bags. Maybe try there as well? I was going to suggest the squishy pillows, but they will be more than the ornaments. I wonder if some place has the little make-up or lip gloss, maybe bubble bath type stuff since they are girls? Puzzles? hair accessories? socks or shoe laces? Maybe a special travel cup or glass of their own..oh...how about mac n cheese or soup in the TS characters?

The Disney Store has PJ's B1G1 Free....so it's 14.50 for 2 pairs9(7.25 each). This is a great deal. They have Woody, Buzz, Jessie and many others. All of the selection is not online. They will get to enjoy the PJ's even after Christmas is over.
 
I saw some TS stuff at the Dollar Tree, but definitely geared towards kids younger than 12. They did have, however, TS jump ropes (I know I loved to jump rope in the spring), any different kids of TS puzzles (definitely could be fun during winter break/snow days), and TS lip balm/chapstick. Hope that helps!

Stick a Mr. Potato Head in the tin. He is relatively cheap when new, can always be found at goodwill for $1-2--will take up a lot of space, and more importantly due to him being a Hasbro character is frequently left off of Disney merchandise.

Spud's Rule! :cool2:
 
Try Michaels craft store-mine had a 4 pack of pencils, a 3 pack of pens on a rope and a couple of differnt jigsaw puzzles in the dollar section this past weekend
 
In the party decoration section at Walmart they have Toy Story plastic cups for 75 cents! Mom bought these for her nieces grandkids and filled them with hershey's kisses. They are super cute and you can't beat the price.

They also have Spiderman, Spongebob, Tangled, Disney Fairies and Cars!
 
Party City had Toy Story watches for $2.99 and several TS3 things for about a $1.

I agree with Mr Potato Head - one of the stores had the Buzz and Woody themed ones on sale this week for about $7.50 so check out the flyers for Kmart, Walmart and Target.
 
Target has $1 coloring kits, small towels, stickers, playing cards, calendars and rubik cube like stuff all toy story theme.
 
Well Buzz is the girly girl, and Woody is the tomboy. So the Woody fan wouldn't fall much for the lip balm, bubble bath, and that kind of stuff.

I was hoping for the puzzles, jump rope sounds awesome, and I actually have two cans of Toy Story soup, so getting the mac and cheese would be cool. Shoe laces will be fun too.

I guess Target will be my first stop. Then Micheals.

Thanks every one. This looks totally possible.
 
Last month at least, TRU had a pack of 4 Kooky pens in a TS3 theme for under $6! I think it was Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the Aliens. I may still get one for myself! That's a great deal because the Kooky pens are usually around $3 each. (They do have those at AC Moore and maybe Michaels so you could get them with coupons too.)

I have a big roll of Toy Story stickers I got in the cheap bin at Disney Store awhile back. Dollar Tree is a great suggestion. I think I have a stamper kit I got there with Buzz & Woody on it too.

Have fun, sounds like a great gift!
