What are some good suggestions for gifts for large families that are not extremely heavy for mailing?

Jump ropes

Balls (maybe to inflate when they get there)

A family board game

Card games (like Pit, Phase Ten)

Cute, warm gloves and hats

for the parents.........

the best gifts for them would be a piece of your heart through love........

you can do this by some small personal all hand made items or you could say it on a picture of you if this is your parents.

for the kids.......

you could send a card with some money in it for gifts or whatever the kids wanted to do with it.

what's important is that they know, without a doubt, that you love them. this is something money can't buy and it will stay with them all their lives.

and you do sound as if your heart is full of LOVE.

MAY THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS MAKE MANY DREAMS COME TRUE

FOR SOME DREAMS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE IF NOT FOR A CARING PERSON SUCH AS YOU...........

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Gift cards for the children. You may consider VISA or MASTER gifts cards. I hear they work just like credit card so the receipant can make any purchase he/she wants. Check out visa.com. That's what I'll be giving to my two baby cousins. One is 13 and the other is like 15.

a card with a walmart gift card inside. no matter who it is, walmart cards are always useful. especially for a large family; they can buy a variety of things. merry christmas :)

How about a Gift Certificate to a grocery store.

It's easy to mail and with that many mouths to feed, it would be very much appreciated I'm sure.
