Every year the most popular question we get about Christmas distribution and toys is, “What do you need?” or “What are kids asking for this year?” It’s not an easy question to answer in a few words so we’ve put our toy experts to work to come up with some of the most requested toy items this Christmas. There is a lot here to choose from, but we have all ages up to 12 years. Of course, we can always use things like board games, educations toys, school supplies and clothing of ALL sizes!
If you just want a quick idea of what we’re looking for this year, below are some of our most popular and/or hard to get enough of toy request.
- Action Figures: Spiderman, Transformers, Wrestling
- Dolls: Barbies, Bratz and baby dolls
- Play sets like kitchens or houses
- Music: MP3 players (we found some cheap ones on our registries), CD Players, Headphones
- Justin Bieber stuff
- Books for pre-teens: Harry Potter, Twilight, etc…
- Scooters, Skateboards and of course Bikes (if you are generous enough to provide one of these, please try to provide a helmet)
If you want to take the guesswork out though, check out our Gift Registries at Walmart, Target and Amazon.com. You can print these lists out and take them to the store with you or even order online and have it shipped to us to arrive by Dec 13th.
You can also go to these stores and print the list at the Kiosk located in Target and Walmart and search for “Salvation Army Monterey.”
