Gifting for Children who have No Interest in Traditional Childhood Toys

Many children with special needs cannot or will not play with traditional childhood "toys", so what do you buygift guide for children who won't play with toys them for birthdays, holidays, and/or special occasions?  The first rule of thumb is ALWAYS ASK THE PARENTS FIRST.  While you may not want to buy hand sanitizer for a child, or diapers, or any other care supplies...these items are NEEDED for the daily health and well being of the child - so there is never any better gift than LISTENING to the parents and buying what the child NEEDS.  If the parents aren't of any help though, what should you do?  In the attached photo are some great ideas that can brighten the life of any child with special needs.  Get creative, have fun, and think about small but meaningful items that may bring a little joy into the special occasion you want to celebrate for the child and with the child.   p.s. Gift certificates to mega-marts, large grocery/homegoods stores, gas stations, and restaurants always make great gifts for special needs families too!
