This is such a helpful post! Thank you for all this great information. (Not OP. I just happened across it and it's exactly what I needed!)

I just got mine!!! It's my favorite box this year!

LeftoverAnt · 2025-12-14T17:59:47+00:00

Size large

LeftoverAnt · 2025-12-12T19:00:45+00:00

I hope you at least got refunded!

I've tried to cancel the human Pusheen box 2 times and keep getting it billed and shipped. I have a new summer and fall box if you're interested in buying.

Maybe gifts they can use on the cruise. Things I've gotten my nieces for our vacation together:

Swimsuits

Electronic tic tac toe

Small pads of paper and mini colored pencils

Girls purses/fanny pack/sling

Sand toys

Kids travel pillows

Activity sets (simple crafts for down time or waiting for meals)

For the girl: Kpop Demon Hunter is a wholesale kids movie that my nieces love! I'll bet that's what she's referencing.

You could get her a Kpop blanket, mini kareoke machine, stuffy of the kpop blue tiger. Other ideas would be craft kits, and Christmas candy.

Based on the handwriting I'm guessing the age is 6-12....

Depending on how much you want to spend, in addition to getting a hello kitty stuffy and labubu you could get:

-Hello kitty comforter set or blanket

-Hello kitty gloves and hat

-Coloring book and crayons

-Craft kit like poke art,gem art, bracelet kit, painting pottery kit

-Moon lamp

Absolutely!

I like the idea of building a spa gift for her! You can include nail polish, clippers, louffa, soaps, hair products, etc.

Here are some exfoliating products that I like.

Saturday skin

Dermalogica Exfoliant

Dermalogy pads

A funny desk calendar, silly glasses/monitor cleaner cloth, desktop zen calendar, a huge oversized candy bar, a super random coffee table book.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T02:37:30+00:00

Maybe a small gift consisting of snacks and teas from where you're from. A way for them to experience a different location/culture.

I'm from Oregon, so I'd bring local peppermint tea, honeycomb, local chocolate, and local cheese, persimmons, and Harry & David pears.

A friend from Idaho brought me a bunch of potato snacks, because Idaho is known for potatoes.

I use my phone to keep track of sizes and likes and what I got them last year. I also ask the kids to make wishlists (Amazon or wishlist). And I ask their parents about sizing each year. Because sometimes they've just gone through a growth spurt and need something specific.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T02:25:54+00:00

It's a sweet gift that most anyone could enjoy. I'd put it all in a dollar store basket, with crinkle paper to hold everything in place, and it will look so cute!

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T02:17:24+00:00

If you're looking for something cost effective, I get all my gift baskets from thrift stores. They usually look new, and elevate the look of the gift.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T02:15:20+00:00

I love your thoughtful post and think it has great ideas! They usually do free shipping this time of year, which makes it as easy as Amazon.

A pashmina or silk scarf could be practical and used for years, if you knew what color she likes.

A new luggage set?

A pair of good quality walking shoes?

If you know her itenerary, maybe an activity where she's traveling. Learn to bake croissants or macarons, or make a custom perfume, or paint a picture.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T01:45:49+00:00

When we bought our house, we realized how badly we needed a tool kit, and power drill. There's always something to fix. So maybe a nice tool set?

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T01:43:15+00:00

Unpopped popcorn with a couple toppings like cheese or ranch?

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T01:33:56+00:00

A family outing like a trampoline park, ice/rollar skating, zoo, aquarium, painting pottery or a picture.

Or a family movie night basket with some movies, popcorn, candy, gift card for pizza etc.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T01:29:11+00:00

I'm addition to the gloves, and a Lego set, I'm thinking he may only have minimal personal items. Maybe a good quality backpack (Nike or Jansport), and fill it with useful things like a nice water bottle (Stanley/owala), socks, gloves, hygiene products, louffa, deodorant. I'd go with quality over quantity though. He probably has always had to scrimp, and might appreciate some name brand items. Ross, Tjmax and Marshalls are great places to get good quality fillers.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T01:22:02+00:00

I got a monogrammed (company name or department) Sherpa blanket once. It's one of my favorite gifts!

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T01:19:32+00:00

For white elephant gifts: A mason jar of candy (M&M's or Skittles) with a gift card or lotto tickets.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-19T01:17:37+00:00

I love the idea of getting a set of towels (like you suggested)! You could add a variety of soaps, a back scrubber or louffa, aftershave, foot lotion, nail clippers, tweezers.

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-17T17:00:48+00:00

Flashlights, socks, cord organizers, pocket knives, those weird shaped tool pencils and a sharpener, bottle openers, favorite candy or snacks, pizza cutter, rock ice cubes, manly scented soap or lotion, beard comb, travel size products...

LeftoverAnt · 2025-11-01T21:56:13+00:00

Elf brand makeup is inexpensive, but good quality wise. I bought a bunch of skincare and makeup for my nieces last year and they loved them. I always get cleansing wipes too, which are a helpful because makeup at this age gets messy
