For him:
For her:
Four books (all hardcover), a loveseat and a little red riding dress for her doll. A miniature tea set and a basket to put that tea set in and a brand new pack of construction paper. $5.00 exactly.
There you have it, an entire birthday gift for only $5.00 a kid. I know, I know... you've told me before...your thrift shops are more expensive. That's okay, as they still likely are cheaper than buying new! Maybe for the child you know, you could find a good gift for just $10? Or just $20? Cheaper and much more eco friendly. These gifts may not be what would fit the child you know perfectly, but I'm willing to bet you can find something!
And just a bit for me too. Because, you know, it was my birthday too.
Gingham fabric, a couple yards of corduroy, a light cover to fix my broken oil lamp, a pack of really neat loon greeting cards, a big bowl (one can never have enough), a wool skirt for crafting, a pattern and a funnel. $5.00 even again!
A 'worth it' splurge, as it's nice to have my oil lamp fixed again.
Da best! ;0)
