I received an email today that the parents of my daughter's dance team needs to donate a small gift for the girl's banquet.

Price range $2 -$5 for 22 girls.

girls are 7 - 17 years old

Suggestions?

No time or energy to bake and decorate cookies, they are too young for candles (my standard gift ) I' ll spend the $5 just don't know what to egt that doesn't look cheap!

Their logo is red stars
 
Hair items? Ribbons, etc.? A nice journal...

Don't know...my daughter is 5, don't quite know what "teens" are into...
 
Pampering kit? nail polish, nail file, and maybe some of those nail stickers? I think the cookies would be perfect, tho, lol!
 
What about something in their colors. Maybe make them all aprons with a iron-on of their logo or something. or necklaces that are handmade. a notecard set could be cute too... or a tote bag with a fun saying or picture ironed on... i'd go walk around michaels or joanns and see what comes to you... have fun!

We bought the tubs of microwave popcorn, and a Hershey bar that she will make a new label that says sweet dreams and bought pillowcases that I will embroider the Team name, year and stars on. She promises she'll help me hoop them and iron after we take them off the machine. We'll see... and I didn't ahve time to bake cookies, I anticipate 22 pillowcases to take me 2 days!
She will fold them up like a big hair bow, attach the candy bar in the middle put in tub and wrap with red cellophane and the star garland
 
That is such a cute idea.
