Suggested shopping guidelines

Each Angel Card includes the clothing and toy wishes for one child.  Take as many cards as you feel comfortable shopping for.  We do, however, request that you fulfill each child's requests rather than take more Angel Cards and only partially fulfill their requests.

 

We strive to provide each child with their clothing wish and toy wish.  Below are guidelines to help make your shopping as easy as possible.  Please keep in mind, this gift might be the only gift received by this child this Christmas.  You can always provide more for a child, however, we request you provide the minimum as described below.

​

We explain to the families that the Angel Cards represent a “wish” list and their child may not get everything that they wish, but we’ll “do our best” to make their wishes come true. If a brand name is specified, we ask that you try to fulfill the wish with that brand, but understand that availability and cost may not make that practical.  Generally, brand preference is less important for children under 10.

 

Clothes:

2 items of clothing and a pair of shoes (not counting socks or underwear)

Example: Jacket, pants and shoes

or

3 items of clothing (not counting socks or underwear)

For example: zip hoodie, pants, shirt. 

 

Note:

• Diapers may count as one item

​

Toys:

Toys are listed in order of preference (i.e. the 1st item is the child's 1st choice)

​

1 toy (if a large item is requested)

Example: a bike or skateboard or kitchen or Barbie dream house etc.

or

2 or more toys (if small items are requested). 

Example: soccer ball, car, action figure, art supplies, Barbies etc.

 

---------

Please remove all price tags and put the clothing angel card in a bag with the clothes and the toy angel card in a bag with the toys or taped to the toys you purchased. 

• Two bags per child (one for toys, one for clothes).

• Thank you, but please do not wrap gifts.

• Please secure (tape) the Angel cards to the bags, so we can make sure the right gifts get to the right child.
