    Anything for tweens/teens?.?

  2. MaryKay

    Dear Hip2Save, Does anyone have ideas on how to organize a gift closet? I get fabulous deals from you but I’m running short on space. Any ideas and pictures of your closets would be very welcomed. Thanks 😊

  3. MegannT

    Does anyone have ideas on non toy gifts for children. I have an 8 and a 4 year old who need nothing. I’ve thought of places we can go – but truly running out of out of the box ideas.

    • Jamie

      Is there a children’s museum near you? We gave our 4 year old niece (and her parents!) a year’s membership to the Perot Museum for Christmas last year. It’s been a huge hit! I know you said you’ve thought of placed you can go so I’m sorry if this is a completely useless/redundant suggestion. 🙂

      • Megann Thornton

        I appreciate your feed back!
        There unfortunately isn’t one close enough for us. Not useless or redundant. 🙂

    • bremoeller

      What about outdoor gifts? Like cornhole, kanjam, giant jenga or even bored games? Those are games the whole family can play and it gets you moving. 😀 Or what about a family movie at the theater? That is something that our family doesn’t do often and the kids would love. Or what about an act of service? Like buying holiday gifts for a family in need instead of for each other? Those are my ideas. Have a great day.

      • Megann Thornton

        Thank you! We did buy a board game each but I hadn’t thought about outdoor games.
        I also like the service suggestion. Thank you!

    • Kristy

      My kids love the Wings of Fire books and the graphic novels of that series. If you live where it snows, get things like snow tubes or a snowman kit. Also craft items that they can do and keep busy and it makes a nice keepsake!

    • Diane

      I donate to local food pantry. During holidays when schools are closed parents have trouble having enough food. I know our pantry would love to have a few extras to give out.

    • Lizee

      I made for my 8 yr daughter “12 tickets” gift for xmas. It’s basically 12 “tickets” (experiences) to use throughout the year. Each month she chose a ticket and we’d do that item. For example (nail day, color me mine, movie theatre, park day etc…)

    • becca

      One idea is a magazine subscription for each of your children. There are many to choose from and I know when my children were younger they loved receiving mail.

      Give the 4-year-old a piggy bank with coins and start teaching coin recognition and counting skills. Have the 8-year-old pick their favorite product, toy manufacturer etc and buy them some stock. Teach them how to monitor their stock progress. Personalized cooking aprons along with a cooking day with them each month. There was an all about birds store in my town that had bird houses, bird identification books, feed. My kids loved to go there and enjoyed feeding and watching the birds. My kids loved the rate mini vacations we took at hotels that had swimming pools-nothing more special than that. I got them each their own suitcase so they could enjoy packing for themselves. If there is an animal rescue near you find out what they need and have the children go shopping for the items. They would probably enjoy wrapping the gifts for the animals. Gift cards to your closest bookstore and let them pick out their own books. One year I gave my kids “crazy” socks with silly themes. It was a hit and yet practical too. My granddaughter and the whole family loves the game Charades for Kids. A tent for her backyard was a huge hit as well.

        Oops should have been “rare mini-vacations”

    I get my best friend’s kids (currently 6 & 8) and advent calendar each year. Then I buy them fun rain boots for Christmas. It’s not something they can’t live without but are nice to have and they really seems to enjoy them. I’ve also gotten her daughter a gift certificate for pedicures and will probably buy her son a gift card to Better World Books this year. Another fun one is subscription boxes like baketivity or kiwi crate.
