Minecraft game card (plastic like a gift card,sold in places like Target, Toys R US, etc--I think it's $26.95)
games for video game systems like wii, ps3, etc.

*I know that people will say things like "what if this boy doesn't have a computer, gaming system, etc.?"

1.   Most of the giving trees--it is not a specific boy that they are asking for.   The volunteers/directors just put random  sex/age/sizes, etc. up so that they get a variety of items.   So the tag likely wasn't created specifically for "Charlie Smith, age 10, at 12345 Main St. "--they just knew they were likely to get a lot of 10 year old boys needing gifts, so they created generic "10 year old boy" cards.

2.   Yes, many low income people do have computers and gaming systems.   Actually, most have better/more high tech gadgets than the middle class families who buy for the "giving trees."[/quote]

I hope that's not true about not having specific kids. Why'd they put a name on tag then?  I'll ask when I get to work on Monday..[/quote]
