    $2?!! Can they make this any harder?

    Hi everyone. My son came home from school today and told me that he is to buy a unisex gift for a classmate that costs under $2. Frankly, I find this pretty difficult. Many coloring books, simple books, small toys are over $2.

    Does anyone here have any ideas?

    Check out Dollar Tree, where everything is no more than a buck, Dollar General or Family Dollar for something that'll work.

    head to [color=#ff0000]TARGET! They have a whole section up front of things either $1-3 packets of really cute pens and pencils, erasers, little toys etc. Very little of what I saw was gender specific. I picked up a bunch of Mickey Mouse printed pencils as I had to bring 20 small items for their stocking project! TWENTY! The pencils I got were super cute, 4 in a pack, for $1 a pack![/color]

    Thank you for that idea. I had forgotten about those stores. It has been a long since I have been in one.

    The gift limit for my class is $1.  We just want them to go to the $1 store and get something.  That way, everyone can afford it.  Also, we don't have kids put names on cards so no one is upset theirs is spelled wrong (even if we send home a list, it is inevitable some will be wrong).  This is what my grade level has done for yrs. and I am new, so I go with the flow.

    Maybe a jar full of cookie mix tied with a ribbon and a cutesie cookie cutter attached so the kid can go home and bake with mom.
