Empty container from parmesan cheese and toothpicks to put in.
Jar with a slit in the lid (I use an old plastic apple sauce one) and poker chips. |

Why get a toy from goodwill or something? If I were your friend, I would be a little weirded out that you gave my kids random junk from your house.
I guess if you’re really anti-toy, I’d suggest post-it notes. Or a giant box the kid can sit in and color on. |

Love the idea old or freebie sunglasses. If you have a few pair, the kid will out one on them and one on you. Then the next guy, etc…
Sometimes a silly moment together is the absolute best gift to a child. |

My kid loved sticks and rocks as a toddler/preschooler
Put some of those in a box and they’ll be in heaven. |

A sack of dried beans.
We had a toy cement mixer truck that you could load with beans and have the beans extruded from the trough. Some pre-schools have sensory play stations that have dry rice or beans. |

| I've always remembered an "America's Funniest Home Video" where a toddler opens a package to find a fancy dress on a plastic hanger and shrieks "I got a hanger!!" with glee as she holds it up and the dress falls to the floor. |
