need some help (ideas& places)

the vacation scrapbook gift for my parents 'gift' is finished and DH wants to give it to them in a large tote- to throw them off. our idea is to fill to tote with things that you would need/want to have on a road trip. it's a great idea but now we have a twofold problem- what to put in the tote and where to find the stuff

so far i'm thinking:

magnetic travel games- anyone see them in stores? backgammon would be great

those 'yes or know' books with the invisible ink pens- i saw them recently but i can't remember what store i was in

a beach pail & shovel- not sure if any store would have these this time of year

anything else you ladies think would be a great addition to the Road Trip to Maine tote?!

 

TIA

Re: need some help (ideas& places)

  • Not sure where to find the items you mentioned above, but maybe Walmart, KMart, Target or TRU?

    - How about maps or books on things to do in Maine/About Maine.

    - MadLibs (have seen them at BB&B of all places).

    - Snacks/beverages

    - Travel mugs

    - Money for tolls if there are any

    - Gas card

    - If it's summertime, maybe some beach towels?

    - If winter, maybe some hot chocolate or cozy socks/mittens?

    It's a great idea - nice job!

  • If you are AAA members you could go get some free maps and a travel book. For travel games, etc. check Walmart, or TRU- I think I've seen the magnetic Yahtzee,etc. there.

    One thing I bought DH for a stocking stuffer last  year was a card game called Table Topics. I got it from Amazon, and it's cards with questions that start discussion- a good mix of funny and serious topics. We started doing it at dinner a few nights a week and it's been great. I think it would be easy to bring along for a long car trip as well.

  • Might sound crazy but Cracker Barrel has all sorts of road trip stuff like games, magic pen books, etc. ALSO- maybe a good book on disc for the ride would be good. I like listening to mysteries while taking my various road trips with DH.
