DIY Unboxing Gift
Like many kids, my girls have been asking for LOL Dolls for their birthday and Christmas. But, I’ve watched them with those toys and they don’t actually play with them all that much. What they really liked was the unboxing experience. They love opening the little compartments one at a time and savoring the surprise. So this year, I thought I’d make an unboxing gift of my own. Let me tell you, this gift idea was a HIT! Read on for how I made a DIY unboxing gift.

Fidget Toys

The first thing I did was come up with some small gift ideas that would work in “compartments” of a box. With fidgets being so super popular this year at my daughters school, they were already on her wish list. I ordered a fidget pack off of Amazon and then added a few pieces of candy for extra fun. You could fill it with dollar bills, candy, doll clothes, art supplies, and anything smaller in size. The options are really endless. Next, I laid all the items in an old shipping box I had to make sure they would all fit.

Design Compartments

Once I decided how they would all be laid out, I cut some pieces out of a different cardboard box and hot glued them standing up to make separate compartments for each item. I would recommend this cardboard knife, it is a lifesaver if you need to cut a lot of cardboard.

Fill & Wrap

Once I made all the compartments and filled them with items, I taped a piece of wrapping paper to one side of the box. I laid the wrapping paper over the top and drew dashed lines along each compartment wall so my daughter would know where to “punch” to get the item. I was able to feel the cardboard walls beneath the paper so I knew where to draw. I then added numbers just for fun.

Finally, I taped the wrapping paper to the other three box sides and that was it! My daughters face lit up when she understood the idea of the gift and had a blast opening each compartment and discovering what was in them. It was so much fun, in fact, that my younger daughter has already asked me to do this for her birthday.

Best Klutz Kits
We have been Klutz fans ever since we were kids growing up in the 80s & 90s! Some of our favorites include Juggling for the Complete Klutz and the Klutz Koosh Kit. As parents, we have had our share of birthday parties and events that require gifts. In our family Klutz is a the go-to gift, which means we have tried many different Klutz kits. Some that were not so great and some that our girls loved. In particular, we LOVE the Klutz Crafting Kits. They are well thought out, easy to do and cute. Below you will see a list of the kits and books our girls love, they are the best Klutz Kits we have tried so far.

LOL Doll Storage – We Found the Perfect Containers!

LOL Doll Storage is something I have been searching for for a long time. Are you are a parent of a kid who loves LOL Surprise Dolls? Then you have at some point in time lost it after vacuuming up yet another tiny doll shoe left on the floor. Or, if your kids are like mine, you can’t even step in their room without slippers for fear of being mortally injured when twisting an ankle on the LOL Dolls that have now formed a new carpet in front of their bed. Hey, at least they aren’t as sharp as Legos, am I right? I still shudder at the pain of a bare foot on a sharp lego corner.

But seriously, this post is just a quick tip on some divided containers I found. Much to my surprise, they help my kids keep their LOL Dolls organized. They actually really love to take the dolls out, put outfits on each one, and then choose a spot for each doll in the containers. I found them on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2REtzsT. (affiliate link) I ordered the 36 grid option and then removed two dividers for each section to fit a full-sized LOL doll. You can leave the dividers in for shoes and other accessories if you want.

Organization is life

These containers really do make the perfect LOL Doll storage, but can be used for other items later on. I have a few more that my girls use to store their rock and crystal collections. I like that I can remove the dividers to make them custom to what I am storing. It’s a small item that can really make a big difference. Now, if I could find fun containers for everything on my kids’ floors I’d really be happy.

If your kids love LOL Dolls, check out our LOL Themed Birthday Cake here.
