Kids birthday party gifts aren’t a competition for who can spend the most. And in this case, spending a very reasonable amount can do the most good.
The Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program offers small toys and/or books that make nice party gifts. Currently, it’s a Toy Story theme with Woody, Buzz and Rex plush toys and 2 story books, all for just $5 each. Combine a book with a plush toy and you’ve got a nice $10 present.
But that’s not the best part. 100% of Kohl’s net profit from the sale of these items goes to support children’s education and health initiatives nationwide. This money has supported things like immunizations and educational programs on childhood obesity, asthma, diabetes, and other challenges. Since started in 2000, Kohl’s has contributed over $126 million through this program AND made affordable reading material available to young readers.
Next time you’re in Kohl’s, pick up a book or two and a couple of the related plush toys. Keep them stashed away for the next birthday party gift emergency, or rainy day at your own house. Pair a toy and a book for a perfectly nice birthday party gift for young children, and help kids nationwide at the same time- the double gift.
We’re always looking for ideas for birthday gifts for kids and posting them to our website for you, but when a good gift is also a charitable contribution that helps kids, it’s just the best of all possible outcomes.
