mysticmoonprincess01: What are some good Christmas gifts for teens and burn victims?
I started volunteering for Child Protective Services and saw that most people donate gifts for little kids but not for the teens. What are some good gifts for girls and boys ages 14 – 18. Also, the burn center has children without fingers and some without arms. What kind of Christmas gifts are good for kids like that??? I am really at a loss. Thank you…

Well, I think what you’re doing is wonderful! I think maybe books would be nice… Maybe gift cards? Hmm… teens are so hard to buy for… I personally think journals make good gifts for people (maybe not the the burn victims) in those sorts of situations so they can work through their problems and whatnot… Even if you like baked a bunch of Christmas cookies, I’m sure it would be much appreciated. Maybe even things like basketballs or sports things for the kids who are into sports… But the burn victims will be hard to buy for. Even just writing them letters and giving them Christmas cards could do so much to brighten their day, you know? Or visit them in the hospital.
Perhaps talk to the people at CPS and find out about some of the teens like if they have special interests you can buy them something for. I don’t know but I really admire you.
Answer by Karla RGift cards to Wal-Mart, Target or Hastings (even $ 10.00 ones) – would let them pick out a book, music, jewelry, clothing, art supplies – what they would like. Also movie theater gift cards or Blockbuster video gift cards are enjoyed.
Journals with cool pens, art tablets and markers or charcoal are nice. Handheld games. Stocking hats & scarves. Stuffed animals, those really soft scrunchy pillows.
For burn victims – that is a toughy. I think probably DVD’s of the latest movies. Music. Again – hats and scarves. Really soft, cuddly stuffed animals.
I would suggest asking some of the nurses at the burn center what they would recommend.
