Presents for kids charity

7 replies

I'm going to get some presents for a local charity that buys presents for Christmas for kids that may not get anything for Christmas. Going to try and buy for the teenagers as they are forgotten about usually.

Please can someone give me some ideas on what to get?! Especially for boys, the girls are easier, scarves, hats, gloves, make up etc but boys, what else apart from toiletries which seems pretty boring for them? Essential yes but id like to give some other things.

Not too expensive obviously, can't afford to go giving them playstations etc. 🙂 Thanks
