Perfect! I'll do both! If he hasn't changed his plans, he's headed to Japan in 2018 for a particular trail.

Bath tub color tabs and bubble bath are always good stocking stuffers in our house. Oh and character bandaids. $1 at the Target dollar spot.

Color tabs are hard to find in the dollar spot, they go fast. I always see band-aids though. The color tabs won't dye their skin at all, no. They are little tablets that come in yellow, blue and red, then you can combo them to make orange, purple, or green water. Or do what Cadence does and combo all 3 to get brown.

Did anyone buy an indoor trampoline this year? I already got L's big gift but forgot I had been thinking of it. Is it still worth it at this age? I got H one last year for Christmas. She actually hasn’t had a chance to play with it much since it’s been packed up with the basement reno. But about a month ago DH got it out and she loved it. I think it would be a good gift.

One more... I finally ordered the birthstone rings I got from my H for our anniversary. They are beautiful and dainty and might make a good gift for a teenage niece, sister etc. www.hartandstone.com

who was looking for cleaning crew gifts? Maybe individual bags of gourmet popcorn (or the like) or flavored olive oil?

I made the teachers' gifts today and dropped them and the kids' goodie bags off when I picked up Cadence. The teachers' loved their gift. I did the popcorn bowl with movie candies and snacks, a stbx gc, and Bad Moms DVD.

How much are you guys spending on teachers? Between O and Z i have 12 to buy for. I am giving $20 gift cards for the 5 main teachers, $15 for Z’s afternoon teachers, and $10 for the rest who really only see her once in a while but are good to her. Also 10 for the security guard at O’s school. Is this good enough? Should i get them another small gift in addition to the gift card?

snoopmommymom- I’m doing similar to you. Of course with November kids, I’ve got the fun of having both outgoing and new teachers as my kids transition to their new classes (Prolly most of the DC moms here have this as well). So I’m doing $20 gc for each of their four current teachers. B has already started in the 4s class, so I’m giving a small gift to her old 3s teachers. C is still transitioning, so $10 sbux cards to his upcoming teachers. Then there was a stellar floater from B’s old room that I’m giving a gift to. And finally there is one awesome front desk lady who I’m giving a $10 sbux card too.

Cadence has now told 2 Santas she wants an Elsa/Spiderman car. Such a thing does not exist and we have no idea where or what it even is. Mh just called from toysrus. He is purchasing this car and then decorating the little white one in an Elsa theme. www.toysrus.com/product?productId=125702466

I just saw on a Facebook moms group a woman who doesn't buy teacher gifts, but instead buys the school a target gift card and asks that it be used for school supplies/toys/crafts, etc. I would still give teacher gifts because it's nice for them to be appreciated, but i have been giving the director a gift for the last three years (usually three times a year) and I think I like this concept better for her. At this point, I will probably just continue giving her personal gifts because it's established, but thought it might be a nice idea for anybody else who's interested.
