For the older girls we have:
iTunes Gift Card
Jewelry from Claire's
Nail polish
DS games -not the actual games just a "tag" kind of like a place holder
Kintec games -not the actual games just a "tag" kind of like a place holder
stationary type stuff: stickers, markers, glitter glue, crayons, colorful card stock, ribbons, beads (both my girls still love to craf/scrapbook)
Hair clip type things
smelly stuff from BB&W
Boys:
Match box cars
Coloring books
crayons
play doh
lego sets (like the small $5 dollar ones)
"Guys" (like GI Joe men ect....Wal acarries like packs of 3 for $5 bucks)
nerf balls
Anything from the Dollar Tree really!!! *lol*
Both:
Trips to the ice cream place
date with mom/dad
Arch cards
Special snacks (my kids only eat fruit and veggies for snacks so these are a HUGE deal) like small bags of chips, M & M's, skittles, Gatorade, 7 up cans
Microwave popcorn
I also will add seasonal stuff too, like we were at Wal Mart yesterday and they had these plastic boats for a $1, so I grabbed 3 to put in the boy's store. Like I also said if there is something the kids want we work it out with them. Like if my oldest DD wants clothes above and beyond what I buy her we set a dollar amount and let her earn it or if my DD#2 wants more shoes (she is a shoe a holic!!!) we do the same thing.
