Toys are great but even one or two toys is enough when they already have so many we trip over all the time. Getting things to help them learn, have fun and yet avoid the toy storm that Christmas seems to always bring is a plus for us.

They get a lot of use throughout the year, and then need to be replaced. ;)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192064538924964308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-71966159948102175962015-11-25T19:10:27.974-06:002015-11-25T19:10:27.974-06:00I love these ideas!

My kids have graduated to laptops, video games, etc being teens. They kill my budget almost every year, but it is getting better. Especially since my daughter has became obsessed with her long hair. Can you say budget buying for a teen girl. :)Jaime Barfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00972868515863957645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-73536966349704566742015-11-23T18:24:57.405-06:002015-11-23T18:24:57.405-06:00I have a 4th grader too.

Another suggestion would be a heavier duty binder and the 9slot card pockets - best way to create a selection of cards to trade with friends, and to show off your "best." But it's also a great way to "learn" organizing and a way to take pride, so to speak, in your collection.<br />I mean, uh, I don't do these things as an adult person...no, yes, yes I do. xD Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085189065957396781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-14494032829245958532015-11-23T08:56:41.537-06:002015-11-23T08:56:41.537-06:00Great ideas.

As a mom to two teenage girls, I can attest to the fact that Christmas can be a MUCH more expensive holiday now that the girls are older! Ummmm...have you seen how much makeup can cost at places like Ulta and Sephora? And how SMALL something that costs that much is? LOL <br /><br />Really like the webcam idea! My youngest loves to Skype her friends so that may be put on my list for her!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962759988828423369noreply@blogger.com
