About the TML Christmas Store
Suggested Gift List BOYS
The Christmas list...all kids love to make them as the holidays approach yet, whatever the wish, mom and dad may not be able to afford it. And nothing hurts more than the inability to provide for your children. That’s why we started a new tradition that’s built on DIGNITY, not dependency, The Christmas Store. The design is simple, TML gathers toy donations and creates a “store” where parents sign up to come and shop. Parents are able to spend up to $10 per child on toys that are all drastically discounted. Parents are blessed with the gift of choosing those gifts their children are requesting and giving them directly to their children. The children are blessed with a Christmas gift actually from their parents. All proceeds from the sale of toys stays within The Christmas Store and is used as seed money for the purchase of toys for the following year.
4-7 year olds Cars, Trucks, Play Sets, Action Heroes, Scooters, Cars/Toy Story/Star Wars / Spider Man items 8-12 year olds Action Heroes/Transformers, Building sets, Remote controlled cars, Nerf toys 13-18 year olds MP3 players, sports equipment, cologne, wallets, UM and Dolphin themed items: shirts, hats, room decorations
