[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't want to pull them out from aftercare because they (early ES kid and preschooler) loves their aftercare even though they are not cheap ($1k for both aftercare only, additional $1.5k for 1 kid's daycare). It is a stress for me to keep them at home and I don't want them to see my sadness and anxieties. I just don't want to destroy their routine and I hope that I don't have crush their happy childhood. They are expecting their birthday gifts and santa gifts and I don't want to make any changes for now.

I've got two words for you -- $5 Below!

Girl, thankfully your kids are still SO young, so you can get away with buying all of their Xmas & birthday gifts at $5 Below... because everything is $5 (or) Below!

Your kids would LOVE the gifts they get from that store... they have hundreds of items that you'd buy at stores like Kohl's, it's not cheap garbage that will fall apart like some of the things at the dollar store, for example.

They have tons of name brand toys, crafts, electronics, games, you name it & they have it!  They have such cute remote control Star Wars droids, like BB8 that work!

I actually just bought my 18 year old daughter a six pack of the cutest Champion ankle socks & a six pack of the calf length Nike socks that you see so many kids wearing, just last night.

A friend's son was gong of to college for the first time and my daughter & I made a him a going away basket and got everything from there.
We got him a really cool reversible dart board, a laundry stand up tall laundry basket that has a basketball hoop attached to the top, so throwing laundry in is fun like a game, we got a really soft & snuggly throw blanket for his bed (they have some real nice ones for teens, but tons for kids) we got one of those squishmallows stuffed animals that the kids love & we found one that looks just like his golden retriever (that we know he'll miss), we also got one of those that's an animal one way and you turn it inside out and it turns into a different animal, he'd also been wanting a poker set & chips & they had that, we got him a few sets of 20 foot LED lights to decorate his dorm room with, we got him a bunch of small filler items like a really nice smelling scented candle that smells like the ones his mom uses in their house, a bottle of tylenol, a bottle of hand sanitizer, a sleep eye mask & ear plugs, and they literally have every single kind of candy that you can ever imagine -- hundreds of choices, even candy you haven't seen in decades, like lemongrass, razzle, etc. so we tossed in a bunch of candy he likes.
He loved everything and was so appreciative of the creativity.

Sorry to get so detailed, just wanted to give you examples, lol.

I'm telling you, mom, you could have a field day in that store and totally stay within whatever you budgeted for their gifts -- that store is is truly a gift in and of itself!

They don't have everything they stock listed on their website, but they do have a lot of items that they carry in their stores, just to give you an idea of the quality and items they carry.
The site is good, but the store (I go to the one in Rockville) is so much better.
