I know in my town they have a program for that sort of thing. Check with local chuches or your social service office. Good luck and I hope you find something. Happy Holidays to you too.

I forgot one. Check with the Salvation army. They might be able to help.

Maybe you could just tell your kids that they should be happy with what they receive. It's the thought that counts. :]

I think the first two comments were right on. And if you want to get them something as well then youcould go to places like family dollar and big lots stores like that they have good toys and cheap just a little out dated.

Well, since your post was from ages ago, I thought I would ask and see how your holidays went and hwere you were able to find all your littel ones there gifts. Last Christmas I was doing just fine with money, but I will be in your shoes this year's holiday, as I am expecting my 3rd child in September. If you could give me a head's up now I would be grateful! (As I am hoping to start my Christmas shooping over the summer.)

The dollar store actually has a lot of stuff now. Dollar General you can get like 2 movies for about $5. I'd check out those stores as the amount and quality of things there are getting way better. Also, check out clearance sales and shop around.
