Another fun gift idea is food subscription boxes. UrthBox is a good option that has healthier snack options but they are still delicious. 

Universal Yums is a box I have gotten in the past. It’s a lot of fun because you get a box full of snacks from a different country. It’s a fun way to learn about other places.

      No problem! It’s sad that so many toys these days are made so poorly and don’t last.
