The Warehouse in Chch. has a big bin where people can put Christmas gifts for families & kids.   This got me thinking about what might be a suitable gift to put in there.    Maybe not anything with batteries - once the batteries die the people might not be able to afford more.     Dolls might or might not be well received.    Books a bit dodgy the child may be a good reader or not.   

I am thinking that something like a basketball, football, water gun (type that needs no batteries), twister game, etc.    Things that could be enjoyed by all..

Ideas?
