Tips

Small things that make it go smoothly.

Teens get skipped most

Suggest teen-friendly gifts like headphones, art supplies, or games in the description.

Ask for new and unwrapped

Most programs need gifts new and unwrapped so they can sort them.

Say where to drop off

Put the drop-off place and deadline in the description.
