At GIFT HERO our plan is not just to help you buy and give the best birthday gifts…we will give you tips to make the whole gifting process better. One of my favorite tips for mothers of 3-7 year olds is stockpiling.

We have a sign-up sheet outside of Benjamin’s nursery school classroom where all the parents list the date of their child’s birthday party. With 21 children in the class, not only does this help avoid overlapping parties and scheduling conflicts, it helps me plan ahead and buy gifts in advance.

To stockpile, I buy 4-6 gifts at a time and I keep them on a high shelf in Benjamin’s closet (so he can’t find them). For children I know well, I use the Gift Finder to find a gift that child will love. For those I don’t know as well, I either buy a unisex gift to give to everyone or I select a boy gift and a girl gift and on the day of the party, I don’t have to scramble to run to a local toy store and try to find something suitable.

If you buy your gifts from GIFT HERO, you will get free shipping on purchases over $75 – which should give you another incentive to stockpile!
