Ideas For After Easter Sales

Buy the Easter buckets and baskets for storing the kids toys in. They come in different colors and sizes and are perfect to store little toys like hot wheels, crayons, markers, dish sets, etc. They have handles on them so the kids love to carry them from one place to other. They also are great for the kids to use as a sand box bucket . You can also use them in baby's room (especially if it is done in pastels ) to store socks, shoes, bath things, diaper changing things, again the handle and can be carried from room to room.
The shredded colored Easter grass(which I got for $.25) is great to use in place of tissue paper on some things for ex. stuffing in the top of gift bags or inside small packages for cushioning,
Use egg dyes at different times of the year for festive hard cooked eggs. Use red and blue dyes on your hard boiled eggs for your 4th of July picnic.
They have so many things that make great baby, birthday, Christmas, or anytime gifts. For ex. they have dog, rabbit, duck etc washrag puppets, resin knick-knacks of different animals that would be so cute in a baby's or toddlers room. Even a lot of young girls have collections of rabbits or ducks etc. and these would be great for them.
Especially good are the stuffed animals. They are great for babies gifts, young children or teenage girls. You can also use them for the elderly in nursing homes. My children even buy me a stuffed something once in awhile--no I'm not in a nursing home although they think I'm old enough to be ~:-). Another use that I think is great is to buy a huge bunch of them and take them to your women's shelter. So many times the women and children there have to quickly leave their homes leaving everything behind them including family pets and favorite toys or stuffed dolls and animals. Sometimes we get so busy comforting their stomachs we forget that their hearts too need to be comforted.

The stuffed animals are also good for dog toys (seen the price of a stuffed dog toy lately???) my mom buys them up when they hit 90% off at Target and at every garage sale we find for her puppies.
