Ideas For Arrival Treat Surprises For Children

[MINNIE OF TWO MICE]

I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL THREADS ON GIFT BOXES FOR THE CHILDREN. I UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE GOT THEIRS FROM AN INCREDIBLE LADY NAMED PEGGY THAT HAS GOTTEN A NEW JOB. I TOO WANTED TO DO A BASKET FOR MY DD(11) AND DS(10) AND FRIENDS DS(1). I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!!! I WAS AT OUR LOCAL WALGREENS TODAY AND GOT THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
1. 6" PLUSH(MICKEY MOUSE) THAT WAS 2 FOR $10.00
2. 2 OZ BUBBLE BATH WITH DISNEY SHAPED SPONGE 3 FOR $10.00
3. BIG SWIRL DISNEY CHARACTER LOLLIPOP $1.00
4. 5 OZ DISNEY GUMMIES(THEY HAVE EVERY CHARACTER) $1.00
5. SMALL DISNEY DAILY JOURNAL $1.00
6. DISNEY CANDY FILLED PEN $1.00
7. 7 OZ BAG OF DISNEY COOKIES $1.00

I PUT MY CHILDRENS IN A BRIGHT COLORED COOLER THAT I AM GOING TO FABRIC PAINT THEIR NAMES ON THAT WAS $8.00. I ALSO PUT THE CONVERSION CAPS FOR WATER BOTTLES TO MAKE THEM SPORT BOTTLES.

I DID ALL OF THAT @ $23.00 PLUS TAX. I ALSO HAD TWO BAGS OF THE GUMMIES IN EACH COOLER. THEY TURNED OUT GREAT. I WILL SHIP DOWN AHEAD OF TIME AND HAVE THE RESORT TO PUT THEM IN OUR ROOMS. I WILL DO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR THE BABY. ALTHOUGH, I DID GET HIM THE PLUSH. I HOPE THIS HELPS OUT OTHER FRUGAL MOMS LOOKING TO SURPRISE THEIR MOST PRIZED POSSESIONS.

THEY HAD OTHER $1.00 STUFF LIKE SMALL DIARIES, NOTEPADS, SUCKERS,AND SOME MORE PICTURE FRAMES WITH CANDY THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE. EVERYTHING WAS PRICED VERY REASONABLE. WE ARE GOING IN DECEMBER!!!! I CANT WAIT. ALSO CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I PUT A THREAD UNDER THE WRONG CATAGORY, IT WAS MY FIRST POST. I NEED TO MOVE IT BUT DONT KNOW HOW!!

great stuff! I'll have to go check out my local Walgreens. I think you have been very creative and cost conscious. Thanks for the heads up about the goodies at Walgreens. Have fun on your trip.
