Simple Little Surprises!

We all have a tendency to buy too much for kids. Just go to a young person’s house filled with toys … filled with stuff either they “had to have” or we “had to be sure they have!” But, ya’ know, a little plastic cup with a favorite character on it can be just as special. So can a pen, a pad of paper or stickers! Something simple!

Try collecting some simple little things and saving them for surprises. In fact, try this. Buy an assortment of books at the dollar store, wrap them in colorful paper and save them for a rainy day or a visit to the doctor’s office or a day when a traffic jam could be a possibility. What could be better than an unexpected present! Pull out this simple little surprise and there’s a really good chance, you have just turned that frustrating moment into a much happier one!
