    Ten years+ ago, we always made the road trip fun for our kids. It’s a 15 hr trip so I would pack small dollar tree fun things for each state we entered. Stickers, coloring books, cheap stuff but exciting and fun. They would get one or two things each time we crossed a state line.

    The kids are teens now and I would love to make it fun with a throwback, but they obviously aren’t into the exact same things. </div> </li> <li id=

    I started tossing in small, slightly more grown-up treats like mini puzzle books, claw clip sets, phone stands, and snack vouchers. One time I even repurposed a few sleek items I got from a corporate gifts supplier singapore, like a compact power bank, and the kids thought it felt kind of cool and unexpected. Mixing practical stuff with silly surprises kept the vibe fun without feeling too kiddie.
