Check out the "Dollar" section at Target, I went there yesterday and they have tons of things...ELF makeup with items for $1 or $3 each, a nice nail polish kit with five shades for $5, I bought some cute animal toys, a horse, a giraffe, and a lion, all a $1 each, and they have bagged Lego Mini figures on sale for $1.19, regularly $3.99 (they're at the check-out stands.) They also have small notebooks, pencils, boxes of candy, etc., in the $1 section. They sell gloves for $1, they're with the gloves and hats by the underwear for boys and girls. They have a $5 DVD section, too, where i picked up a couple of Thomas the Train ones as gifts, they could also go into stockings.

Also look at the Dollar Tree, they sell bags of firemen or policemen figures for $1, candy, gum, all kinds of treats, plus chalk and other fun items and goodies.

I'm with you, excited : )

We have a 16 yr old. For yrs, we've had:

gift cards (ITunes, Starbucks, etc)
Rolled up assorted bills ($1, $5, $10, etc)
The warm super soft, comfy Bed and Bath socks
Always some favorite Godiva chocolate
The original Book of Lifesavers (this has been since she was a baby)
etc...

Be creative and have fun.

3 y/o: Matchbox cars, a DVD, chapstick? (my 2 y/o boy loves chapstick!), balls, small stuffed animals, bath toys was a cute idea, wind up toys, play cell phone or play camera (Disney store has cute ones), books, toothbrush and toothpaste

13 y/o: socks, make-up, chapstick or lip gloss, movies, gift cards, jewelry, sunglasses, books or magazines, Bath and Body Works soaps and lotions

This may sound terrible but I usually just hit the dollar store. I can either spend $20 at the dollar store on stupid trinkets that will get lost/broken/tossed out or I can spend $60 on stupid trinkets that get lost/broken/tossed out. We really can't afford as much this year and I'd rather put the money towards a bigger quality gift.

books
wooden toy figurines
some kind of candy
a tangerine, just for tradition's sake
fun art supplies
