If you end up with one you already have it’s no big deal — just donate to class library or a little free library or a neighbor. Peole always want books. When I put them on boy nothing, they are gone same day. Something like an assortment of magic tree house, or who is, or I survived or anything like that would be good for those ages. I don’t think there’s as much range as you think on 7-9–even the kids who are readying Percy Jackson as happy to read a quick little something.
A bag of candy is also fine but I find that the kids just eat it in the car after already having cake.
I just hate the small plastic toys.
Ain’t nobody wants a book. They want the little plastic shit. Get it together.

A singular fake brick? I have been trying, but what I am picturing on my head is nothing that anyone would be excited about. Do you have a link, PP?

Weird.
What do you even do with a fake brick? Use it as a yoga block?
NP. I actually like this idea. Kids love surprising people. Drop it on your toe in front of mom and hop around. Toss it to your siblings and friends! The rubber egg is also a big hit for the same reason.

Consumables - cookies, gummed, whatever your kid's favorite candy is.
