I avoid stores this time of year as I can't handles crowds & lines. (even Amazing Savings or Closeout connections could be pretty busy).

So I should have shopped on ebay weeks ago but we had a lot of expenses (BH for good things) & funds were tight.

Now DH says, go, spend a little (but not a lot) for the grandchildren & time is tight too.

I can do something for the girls (I can make hair bows etc) & DH can get seforim for the big boys, but I'd like to get some small stuff for little guys from 2 up to 12.

Matchbox cars? Digital watches? Key chains w flashlight?

If I can get on Amazon prime it will get here in 2 days.

I am sure some of you have found some bargains, so please share! Thanks!

thanks, I am getting some good ideas
but just realized it's Tuesday (!) and maybe they'll arrive Thursday but late...
No, actually they're saying Friday so I guess it will have to be the Dollar Store for me!

Clearly this idea was way too stressful for me. I ended up biting my nails (and I only do that once or twice a year. Last time when we were waiting to hear if the boy my DD was dating was ready to get engaged....)

So I think it will be Chanukah gelt. Cash is better than a cheap toy that breaks, right?

Tape measures from the dollar store for the younger ages should be a big hit.

Metal tape measures? We have a kid who needed stitches when one snapped back....
Fabric tape measure? Strangulation hazard. Hate to sound OCD...

Alex craft projects or Melissa and Doug activity books are nice.

Do you have toys 4 u or toys 2 discover where u live? They have great little prizes for $1 -$5. If u go when they open or shortly before closing the lines aren't too bad

Barnes and Nobles clearance section has amazing and beautiful hard cover books for kids around $5.99. I think BOOKS are the BEST present ever. Especially when you write something in the front cover- then it becomes a keepsake!
