Whoopee cushion, Gak, etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-white-elephant-gift-ideas#post-1260765 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 04:44:07 +0000 anonysquire 1260765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me a white elephant is a gag gift. We always give silly, useless items like a sweet spandex leisure suit or muumuu with matching night cap. For a gift exchange I would do a gift card. But wrap it up in a bigger box so it stumps the kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-white-elephant-gift-ideas#post-1259455 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:45:26 +0000 cmomma17 1259455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a wide range of kids would love a gift card to the local frozen yogurt place we have here (the kind where there are a million toppings to choose from).<br /> The rainbow loom bracelet maker thing? I think it's less than $20 and very popular right now.<br /> Any recent release animated movie (add popcorn and candy)<br /> A fun water bottle or straw cup (CVS has holiday straw cups for $5 that have glitter or snow globes in them). You could add something like kool aid packets inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-white-elephant-gift-ideas#post-1259363 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:19:51 +0000 bunnylove08 1259363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toys R Us gift card or amazon gift card. Its a huge age range. I would get the gift card so the kids can get what they want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-white-elephant-gift-ideas#post-1259354 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:17:02 +0000 deerylou 1259354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon has a make-your-own-root-beer kit for ~$20. </p> <p>Tickets to the movie theater/movie night gift basket</p> <p>Edible mason jar mixtures (hot cocoa, holiday cookie, granola etc)</p> <p>Art supplies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-white-elephant-gift-ideas#post-1259189 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 12:40:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1259189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Suggest a white elephant gift for a group of kids (say age 3-15 but wouldn't be a big deal to get something not quite age appropriate) and obviously gender neutral and in a cheaper price range ($20). </p> <p>I thought this also would be a great list of generic, practical, cheap gifts that many could reference. </p> <p>So far I have thought of:<br /> Board game (card game, parents of the younger kids could enjoy now).<br /> iTunes gift card (for apps, music, or games)<br /> Ice cream gift card<br /> Disney movie </p>
