If you’re a mom with toddler or elementary school age children…weekends mean birthday parties & birthday parties mean gifts!
Save time & money on birthday gifts by creating a gift closet! Here’s how…
#1. Set aside a couple of shelves to put gifts on.
#2. Stock these shelves with bargain gifts or one-of-a-kind gifts & don’t forget about them!
Now…where do you find these bargain gifts to fill the gift closet?
#1. Take advantage of BIG sales & stock up! Playsaver.com is a site for click & print Hasbro coupons. Check newspaper flyers, & when Walmart or Target have Hasbro items on sale, print your coupon & SAVE BIG!
#2. If you enjoy local bazaars & craft shows…look for vendors with handmade children’s toys. The advantage: great prices + one-of-a-kind gifts! There’s nothing worse that giving a gift that the child already has!
#3. Don’t forget that T.J. Maxx, Marshall’s & Ross have toy departments!
