Winner Mama Stu -RAOK: Santa Ideas needed

[rbunnymom]

The experience ie as movie night at home might work best as she is unable to leave home right now plus the kids have had her in the hospital for many weeks away from them. I am sure they will love a gift box of goodies to go along with a theme. So keep the ideas coming. I just recalled the Hasbro coupons I have - so maybe a game night box would work.

You could do the game night with Hot cocoa, Popcorn, or maybe a small gift card to a local movie rental place.

Do you have stockpile stuff you could send to the kids for gifts? My grandsons and grandaughters love getting their own bodywash and always want to take some when they come over.


Do you have any pictures of all of them? Maybe you could fix a photo album for them .

Someone already mentioned fun activities. I just wanted to say that I took my sister and her husband to the zoo today and it was half-price admission!!! Maybe check it out in her area. :)

Does she have any local support? If so maybe you could send them some money to do shopping for them as shipping is going to be the hardest part? Maybe you could find someone on this list - to do the shopping HCW style to get a lot for you and save you shipping.

Can you try calling some of the local churches to see if there is any way they can help with food? cause again the shipping is going to be so expensive.

I love the idea posted earlier, see if you can contact a church or school counselor from childrens school or a PTA member, and see if they could take a couple hours to take the kids out for a bite and to choose a gift for themselves as well as a gift for their parent(s). That would make the kids feel like they got to gift as well as getting from you and yours!

OR... HCW that might live in her area?!?

Side note-Some libraries have one day passes for museums that can be checked out free.
-Card games would fit in a flat rate box- Uno... They have sets of Go Fish and Crazy 8s at the dollar store.
