[quote=Anonymous]OP, just because you don't like it, don't trash it. I toss some of that type of stuff into a small basket that goes with Halloween decorations. We hang a sign at Halloween that says we support the Teal Pumpkin project which means we have toys instead of candy for those kids who have allergies. We usually have a few kids out of about 250-300 kids each year that take a toy instead of candy. Not a lot, but enough to make it worth doing each year. Alternatively, put them in a box and bring to a Toys for Tots drive. This stuff makes good stocking stuffers or can be bundled together with a few other things for the toy drives. There are plenty of families that are struggling to make ends meet that would appreciate having even dollar store junk. So I collect a lot for those drives. A box that sits in a closet all year, gets tons of stuff tossed in and then heads to the toy drive each Christmas.[/quote]
