Gift Cards: The perfect party favor

When it comes to selecting party favors for children, gift cards are a great idea. Rather than opting for trinkets that may not survive the journey home, gift cards offer children the opportunity to choose something they truly desire or indulge in a personal treat of their own preference. This ensures that each child receives something enjoyable and meaningful. Whether it’s for a favorite store, restaurant, or activity, gift cards are a versatile and appreciated option that can bring joy to any celebration.

Here is a list of places you can get a gift card for:

• Target
• Cold stone creamery
• Yogurtland

You can get these directly from the store you pick OR from Costco if they have it and your budget allows for it. Personally direct from the store works better since these will likely be of amounts around $10.

⚠️🚨⚠️ Please note: due to recent gift card theft activity, it may look like you are getting a new gift card from the store, but they don’t have any money in it. So either order them online to have them delivered or ask the cashier to get them from behind the counter. While this may not be a problem with restaurants/ice cream places, it seems to be an issue with retail stores.
