As you shop for Christmas presents for your children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces, you will no doubt be struggling to find something exciting at a reasonable price. Toys seem to have all gone high tech, and along with that comes high prices.

But there is something that is not only cost effective but is also wonderful for a child’s imagination – you could give them a Dress-Up Box.

I don’t know about you, but I always adored my dress-up box. It was filled with my parent’s old pieces of clothing, as well as some impromptu items that we made workable. Beads, scarves, old sunglasses, towels, shirts or some foil, you can guarantee that whatever it is, children will find a way to make it work.

And whether you are starting from scratch, adding to your own collection or trawling op-shops to find some great items, you will most likely enjoy putting it together as much as they will enjoy playing with it.
