    Last year one mom posted an awesome idea for teens. It was about a shoe box filled with a favorite kid’s dvd, candies, cozy socks, gum or gummies, play cards, and some coupons for mcdonalds or burger king, etc I tought of doing that this year and I’m almost there with that except for the movie title, I’m soooo lost about what kind of movies a 12 year old kid would like to watch :S ..any ideas?? thank you so much in advance

    • Heather C.

      My 11.5 year old daughter and 13 year old niece love kiddie movies still- inside out, minions, hotel transylvania 2, etc…

    • Tiffany

      Some great movies for a 12 year old could be Inside Out, the new Cinderella, tomorrowland…. to be honest any disney movie would work!!

    • Kadi

      You could do Redbox codes!

    • Melanieee

      Just a thought of mine but the Dollar General or Family Dollar sells dvd with like 6 movies and there are like family ones or Christmas movies but I think there like $5 or $6 and you get like 10 on the dvd just a thought hope it helps you out. Your mom’s idea of the shoe box sounds cute. I may have to make one for a tween I know;) Merry Christmas JeN!!

    Thank you for all the versatile gift tags for all of us that are unable to make our own tags due to lack of skill (and or time) !!! This makes the gifts so much cuter & ties it all together!!! Thank you for sharing!!! <3 I'm planning on using the candle one (from the other post) for my daughter's preschool teacher, "It's Beginning To Smell A Lot Like Christmas."
