Fake spiders to scare their friends with? WTH? Are you seriously thinking teens want this and teens are scared by this?

OP: you have a few choices:

- buy random stuff that the teen won’t want but will fill the container

- buy 1 thing the teen will want (this will generally be candy- most teens have socks, candles, etc)

- buy 1 gift card the teen will want

- give a new $5 bill in an envelope

Please, please don’t buy dollar store items, socks, candles, slap bracelets, fake spiders, unless you care more about filing the container than giving what’s wanted (which is fine). 100% teens do not want these things. [/quote]

Do you not read the inexpensive part? [/quote]

As a parent of a teen and tween, I agree, please don't give them dollar store stuff.  They don't want it or need it.  They won't be mean about it, but I would be throwing it out in 5 minutes.  I would do some candy/snacks and maybe have your kids each draw a picture for them - if these are kids that your kids interact with and your kids would want to draw a picture for their older friends.  The older kids will likely think it is sweet that these kids drew them a picture, it isn't more plastic junk, and your kids get to feel like they made something for these older kids.[/quote]
