Suggestions for end-of-year hampers for kids? (hexbear.net)

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm planning to conspire with maybe a couple of other volunteers at my local mutual aid org to put together some end-of-year present hampers aimed towards kids.

This will be intended for children who are homeless or facing serious poverty so they can have some nice things like other kids get to have at Christmas time (I'm in a culturally Christian country so it's the big annual gift-giving celebration here.)

Do you have any suggestions for what could be good to include?

Obviously I'm looking for lower cost items so that we can stretch our money as far as we can and I'm looking for ideas for things that are more oriented towards enjoyable gifts over giving a kid more mundane items like socks and writing pads.

My plan at the moment is to do two age brackets, with one set of hampers being aimed at a <10yo bracket and another that is >10yo, approximately.

Any hot ideas for stocking filler/secret santa style gifts for kids?

Are tamagotchis still a thing?

They got rereleased and cost like $20 or something at my local Asian store.
