Thank you Meghan from Exploring Beauty with MNM’s for sharing this tip with us!

“At certain times of the year, it does seem like a never ending stream of kids birthday parties to attend which usually means presents and cards to buy too. Save yourself the time on shopping for individual presents for children by building a Present Stash.

When you find something that you know a kid will like that is also really great value, why not buy a few more of the same item to go in the present stash. That way you will always have a ‘go to’ for the next birthday, or if you get caught out at the last minute you won’t have to make a dash to the shops. We’ve done this so many times with books, GI-Joes, Smiggle stationery, and crafty kits in the past.

If your child gets given something for their birthday that they’ve already grown out of or have something very similar, just add it to the present stash.

And either make your birthday cards, or buy cards in bulk either from a $2 Shop or when Whitcoulls is having one of their 50% off sales.”
