Kids Tableware from Ikea

These cups,bowls and plates from Ikea are something I have bought for years - for my own kids as well as for baby gifts.  I love the bright colors and the price is right too.  $1.99 for a set of 6 cups, bowls, or plates.
I have recently started adding the cups to my Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes.  At .33 cents a piece, they're perfect.



Another idea would be to include some of this flatware.  An 18 piece set is $1.99.  That makes a set of one fork, knife and spoon .33 cents.

One of the great things about these items is that they would suit either gender and every age category.   Perfect!

Cutlery- Canadian Tire 3 day sale.

I can't remember where I read it, but someone mentioned adding a spoon to their box.
And I thought what a great idea!
It takes up very little room, and could make life easier.
I personally can't even imagine not having cutlery.
But adding it to your box could be an answer to prayer.
I have been on the look out for cutlery.
I have bought a little bit at Dollarama.
But was looking for some better quality cutlery.
Remember these precious children only receive one box.
And this cutlery would probably used for the whole family.
So I want to send good quality items.

Canadian Tire is having a 3 day birthday sale, starting today.
They have a 20 piece set of cutlery on sale for $9.98.
It looks like it is really good quality.
And you could divide this between a few boxes.
Remember you can not send a knife.

Also included in the flyer was a scratch and win.
You could win

• McCains Deep n' Delicious Cake coupon

I figured I would pick up a few plastic shoe containers this weekend.
And use my scratch and win.  Maybe I'll get $5.00 off  or at the least I'll have a delicious cake:)
