drmy91 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I have 3 kids and we usually give about 10-15 gifts a kid. Now that everything is getting more expensive, I need ideas that are inexpensive but still cool. My son is 11, my daughter is 8 and my other son is 3. HELP!!!
Steakgoddess Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Walk the end caps at Target for Clearance deals
best4less Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Are they into video games at all? If so, check out your local KB Toys if you have one. They are having a clearance sale right now on games for ALL the systems. Games are $1, $5 and $10 plus they are having their orange tag sale- anything with orange tags (which some of the games do have) are Buy 1, get 1 for 50% off! It is a hit or miss as to what they will have as I think the sale has been going on all month. I just got: Wario Ware for Gameboy Advance for my daughter- $10 Spider-man 2 for PSP for my son- $10 (originally $40!) Wrestlemania X8 for Gamecube for my daughter- $5 orange tag Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for XBox for my son- $5 orange tag (half off so I got it for $2.50) Disney's Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure for Gamecube for my niece- $5 orange tag (half off- got it for $2.50) Bought a Bratz doll for my daughter- $7.99 with an orange tag 5 games and a Bratz doll for slightly under $40 with tax!

snakeswiff Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Bratz for 7.99......I am so going to scope my KBToys tomorrow! Thanks for the list!
whafs8 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 There are many items on clearance at Amazon/Toys r us. For 5.29 and some even have free shipping. Try that I found some great deals there.
me2 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Wait until Target goes 90% off Halloween clearance. You can get some great dress up stuff and costume props CHEAP. One of the big hits last year at Christmas here was three cheapie plastic swords that I picked up at Target for around fifty cents each.
decafmom Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Swords are a big deal at our house. For some reason the 5 year old thinks they're the best toys ever!
me2 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I have a 14 y.o., a 9 y.o. and a 6 y.o. They all three played with those swords for months. My husband couldn't believe that I actually bought them. I told him FIFTY CENTS. What can I say, I'm cheap. <g>

One of the big hits last year at Christmas here was three cheapie plastic swords that I picked up at Target for around fifty cents each. I made my haul at Kmart last year. I got my son a ton or costumes and props and he loved it. He is still playing with them to this day. Plus I got him a really expensive Harry Potter Outfit for Halloween for .99 I love clearence! LOL

I'll keep my eye out after Halloween now.
elena_398 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 walmart always has a nice clearance section, also amazon has nice items. Just check out the web sites of the stores. My son is 11 and I found some great smaller items at Target too
pinkroses4mommy Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I posted this as a reply to another question, but my 4, 9, and 12 year olds are suddenly into nerf guns. They shoot each other- kind of like laser tag. Nerf guns are pretty inexpensive. Check out kmart's ad this week for Friday only sale for $12.50 for a $25.00 gun. Or you can get smaller ones at Walmart for around 7 or 8 dollars. That's the ones that my kids are playing with now. Do invest in some extra foam darts though.
