A dress-up box makes a great gift for your nieces and nephews. Instead of spending a fortune on mass-produced toys, you can stock the box with some of your discarded clothes. Collect neat clothes, uniforms and other "dress-up" items at the local thrift store, which will not only help you fill out the collection, it will help support the needy.
In Canada we had a children`s TV show called "Mr. Dressup". It was on for a very long time. Mr. Dressup had just such a box. He called it his "Tickle Trunk"...good memories!

Don't forget to check out garage sales when the warm weather comes, as well! One great thing to buy is costume jewelry! :)Mom2fur
