hillddaa33: What kinds of gifts to give to poverty stricken 1st grade and 5th grade boys?
I’m volunteering to help get holiday gifts for our local school. I have some ideas as what to get, but I would love to get them something memorable. But problem is I will be using corporate spending. I don’t like the idea of just traditional things, although I feel they may enjoy it. I feel that something that is memorable, without going overboard maybe worth it.
What does anyone recommend?

Have you considered getting them food? Perhaps a Christmas dinner instead of a toy? That would help not only the boys, but the families as well. There’s an old TV show called M*A*S*H where an officer gives candy anonymously to orphans only to find out that the candy was sold on the black market to buy enough food to feed the kids for a month. “It is sadly inappropriate to give dessert to a child who has no dinner.”
That being said, if the food route is not a way you wish to go, check out Toys R Us. They have search filters by age and theme. That might provide you with a idea of what to get. Maybe even hang out near the Santa at the Mall and eavesdrop on the wishes of the children in that age-range.
Good luck. I hope your gesture brings happiness.
