[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are pre-k and 2nd grade. I usually spend $20ish.

My go to is a pack of 100 glitter gel pens from Amazon + a nice sketchbook. I get the books on sale at Michaels. [/quote]

NP. This reminds me of one of the greatest little gifts we got from a preschool friend at a real hippie school where everyone says no gifts/no gifts necessary & most kids bring a card or something very small. It was this ~8-pack of nice crunchy-mom* colored pencils with two ends-- one side was a neon color and the other side was a metallic, so 8 shades of each.

It probably cost like $10 max, but it was the kind of thing almost no kid has, AND fun AND useful. My kid still has and uses them here and there, 4 years later. I just know the parents had a stash of them for every birthday party and it was genius.

Something like these, but what really made the gift we got was that they were metallic/neon-- not colors most kids would have.
