What's the coolest $5-$10 thing your kid has?

At Rory's preschool, they celebrate the kids' birthdays, and we send an inexpensive gift for them.  There are three in the next week, and I am always at such a loss as to what to give.

    What about a mini magnadoodle?  DD loves her's.  I'm not sure how much they cost, though.

    Also, some Barbies are $6! (depending on the kid's age)

    See, that's the problem.  We've already done those.  I feel like I am out of ideas.

    Target has wooden puzzles for $10. We just gave nephew (age 4) one yesterday and he seemed to like it. (Similar to Melissa and Doug but less $).

    For Miles's class last year I made

    Crayon holders (only 4 slots) and a pack of crayons!

    Sticker books!

    Little dollar bin pails full of fun little things and wrote their name on the outside!

    For girls, my DD loves her ponies, my little pony.  You can get one for about $5.  Boys like those cars you shake and they go, I think they are $11, but you could probably find them at walmart for under $10.

    A few matchbox-type cars for the boys and some plastic necklaces or bracelets for the girls?

    Target has Winnie the Pooh Uno for $5.  We just got it for ds and he loves it. My son is a few months younger than your daughter so I am assuming the kids having birthdays in her class are turning either 3 or 4 so it is age appropriate.

    Can I really be the only one who think this stinks.  I am all for celebrating birthdays with song, some cake, and ice cream...but presents for pre-school "friends" I would hate that.  How many kids are there?  What happens if she is invited to their real party?  oohh...

    But to answer your question, play-doh, arts and crafts kits, and anything on clearance at target or a craft store and keep it in a "gift drawer".
