Bargain Gifts for Pre- to Grade-Schoolers

Books – If you're not sure what type of books the recipient enjoys, a gift card is just as good, and most parents do appreciate them! Pair the gift card with a fun bookmark or a pad of paper with the birthday child's initial on it for a special added touch.

Sidewalk Chalk – No matter the age of the child, every kid enjoys getting creative outdoors with a big packet of colorful chalk and a canvas as large as the driveway!

Movie Pack – Stop by the local movie store and pick up some popcorn, a box of candy, and a gift card. Any kid will delight in a movie night at home! And maybe he'll even share ... or at the very least, maybe he'll let you watch his movie pick!
