heatherkw Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I bought some clothing for nieces and nephews this year that are badly needed. I also bought some toys but I was wondering if there are any funs ways to wrap clothes or fun items I can maybe include in the clothing box so they aren't too disappointed at clothing. They are 4,4,23mon. and 19 mon. any ideas?
jarerice Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Maybe add some packs of stickers in with the clothes. Or wrap the clothes in odd boxes do they will get a kick out of it.
christib327 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 How about sticking little books in with the packages? Sometimes I like to roll shirts and put them in cylinder packages.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I roll up shirts, then roll them in paperThen I tie the ends with ribbon to look like HUGE tootsie rolls...My kids love getting clothes so I don't add any toys( I have NO IDEA where they get thier clothing obsession from ...maybe pick up a cheap toy/stickers or even dollar store toy to include WITH the clothes? I am SURE they'll get plenty of toys otherwise and I'd LOVE for people to get my kids clothes instead of toys!!
Kandy Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 What about a waste basket then fill it with the clothes and other goodies like a piggy bank and the small toys as well. Maybe somethign like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511FH9YR2YL._SS260_.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41VPRSYHCPL._AA262_.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51QH6F423VL._SS260_.jpg those are all at target.com
ang625 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 yep dollar tree had those to^^^^ i was going to suggest that as well :)
Grassy Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Sometimes I wrap them in a roll with ribbons on the ends to look like tootsie rolls too! (like mom2monkiesx3 mentioned!) But this year, I did the cute shirt boxes, tied cute with bows and ribbons, and taped a chocolate santa on the box. I did that for the adults too!!!!!!! For nieces I usually stick in a bubble bath or fun lip gloss too. (Reeses's Peanut Butter Cup Lip Glosses were a hit last year!).
jbdinos Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 For girls what about "girly" things that go along with the outfit... like hair things, the lip gloss, etc.... For boys it could be a "theme"... football shirt with a nerf football for example.... a shirt with a car gets a matchbox car.... etc.... depends I suppose on what clothes you bought.... you might get lucky enough to even find a small book or coloring book for some cartoon character clothing and that would work for girls or boys maybe? At our house everyone loves to get new clothes, even the boys.... of course they don't want to get all clothes but if there are toys too then they are good with it.... my DGD3 gets overly excited to get clothes and has since her first birthday so we know she is a girly girl and good to go no matter what anyone decides... so they might surprise you!
dealluvr Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 maybe buy a stuffed animal or teddy bear and put one item of clothing on the teddy bear like the bear is wearing it
