Santa Shop Gifts Kids Can Afford: Best Picks Under $1, $3 and $5

The whole point of a Santa shop is that a child with a few dollars can buy something for everyone they love. These are gifts schools reorder year after year, grouped by what they cost.

Under $1 — a gift for everyone on the list

At these prices a child with $5 can shop for five people. Pens and small keepsakes with the person’s name on them are the favorites, because the gift says exactly who it is for.
