Suggestions for "Happies" to Bring Back for Kids

[MSMomTJ]

I want to bring back some little presents for my two nephews, best friend's twins, and our babysitter's 4 kids. Obviously, that's a lot of things to buy! What can I bring them back that's not too expensive, yet exclusively Disney World? (FYI: There are two 6 year-olds, one 4 year-old, and the other five kids are under 2. Oh, and we're flying.)

One little present I like to bring back is the Mickey lollipops. They come 5 to a package and I like to split them out and add something small to them. Tins of colored hot chocolate are a nice gift for kids too.

how about those rice krispy treats dipped in chocolate that look like mickey heads?

I like to bring back the big swirly lollipops! They are cheap, like under $4.00 and definitely something a mommy wouldn't buy their own kid!!!!!!! So I think it is a real "treat"!!!!! They also had princess marshmallow pops that were cute too!

Another cool thing for little kids are the twirly light up things that they sell in all the different parks. We got a Buzz Lightyear for my friend's little boy and he carries it with him everywhere. They also sell princesses and all different characters. Not sure I'm explaining what I mean very well...but I mean the things that you see when you walk down Main Street, for example, that light up. Kids love them. I think they even sold ones that blew bubbles last time we went. I wish we'd gotten the Mickey Mouse one that looked like snow twirling around in it when we went last time but we didn't. They are fun.

you couls aways go to basin and get the fancy mickey soap or even bring them back the soap from the room (when i was traveling a lot for work my son always asked me to bring home the little bars of soap)
or how about one of the "magic" wash cloths that are shrunk down
there is also a budget store dtd that is off of the pooh shop with all sorts of little things in it

There is also a small leather station just outside of Canada in Epcot. They have cute little leather luggage tags and bracelets...all different sizes and designs some with characters on them....not very expensive at all. Once you pick out the item they will put the child's name on the bracelet while you wait.


Very cute and cool....

Also make sure you get plenty of the small WDW merchandise bags to give the gift in...that will make it extra special.

The small stuffed Disney characters are nice.

We bought chocolate Disney coins (10 per bag) for $2.95. My older son gave coins to this classmates (along with pencils from WalMart) and they LOVED them. We picked up tons of Disney stuff at WalMart there. We got beach towels for $9.95 vs. $18.95 in the parks. We got magnets for $2-4 each. They have everything - Disney water bottles, snowglobes, pencils, notebooks, stamp sets, Pez dispensers. You name it. Kids Disney T shirts were $7. Small stuffed Disney characters were $5-6, character backpacks for $8-10. If you have a car, I would recommend stopping there before buying stuff in the parks. It's all labeled as Disney merchandise. They also have tons of "Florida" stuff like swirl lollipops, saltwater taffy, etc. Postcards are always great, too.

Thanks for all the awesome suggestions!!

I didn't think to add that we are flying -- that will keep us from getting some things like chocolate that will melt. :-(

Chocolate will be fine on the plane. We brought back a chocolate covered mickey head, 3 lbs. of fudge, and a couple handfuls of chocolate candies from the Italy pavilion. Nothing melted.

I am totally craving chocolate now!!!!

I assumed the luggage would get hot in the plane, but I'm glad to hear it doesn't!

oh, where do you get the fudge I think I will fast the month before our trip, just so I don't feel bad for eating everything Though I doubt I will feel too bad My parents are going with us, and my dad LOVES fudge, he is not much of a traveler, so I can really talk this part of the trip up to him, if there is fudge, he is there!

There is a shop in frontierland that has amazing fudge. I had no intention of buying any when I walked in, but they were giving away free samples. The next thing I knew, I was buying 3 pounds!

I do either the Mickey dipped ears krispie treats or the pretzel rods made to order at Goofy's Candy in DTD....My little great nephew loved the dipped 3 marshmellow thingys..they come on a keep sake Mickey straw....also at Goofy's...just look around in Goofy's and I am sure you will find something. They put the items in a box so there is no problem getting them home
