A play-based preschool in SE Portland

Gift Ideas

If a household (or generous grandparent types) are interested in giving gifts to the play space at Sunflower — or to team members! — here are some ideas.

Wish List Items for the School — Wheee!

A Winther Twin Taxi — so much fun for multiple children at a time! This brand of bicycle and style lasts for a long time.

~retails for roughly $445. This is a large-ticket item that will be oh-so-nice. We are open to contributions to a “taxi bike fund” in case someone wants to help get us closer to this purchase.

A Premium Folding Gym Mat — for jumping and rolling.

~retails for roughly $295. Still doing research and open to other brands/models, but mindful that getting a high-quality product that lasts will serve us longer than a cheap mat that deteriorates quickly. Open to ideas!

A Theefun Bubble Machine. Joy!

~retails for roughly $40. Love this style but open to others.

Other ideas!

  • Bubble Mix. See this link: bubble mix (~$16). We are not scared to stock up — spring and summer are on the horizon, right?!
  • Size 5 Diapers (more “functional” than “fun”, but still super helpful. We go through so many diapers each week.)

Wish List Items for the Team — Wa hoo!

Isaiah’s List

  • something yummy, such as Sweet and Salty Chex Mix or any type of sour candy 🍯
  • something refreshing, such as lemonade 🍋
  • I would use gift cards to Guitar Center, Target, and Amazon 🔆
  • Favorite kind(s) of food: Thai food & (pad see ew) Breakfast Burritos 🌯 
  • Favorite color: yellow ✨

Meredith’s List

  • something yummy, such as chocolate-covered nuts or pretzels
  • something caffeinated, such as the instant-coffee-dressed-with-a-little-cream-and-sugar packets at Trader Joe’s.
  • something cozy, such as Darn Tough socks, size 10 (L). Thick Over-the-Calf ones like these. Or the quarter midweight tactical sock with cushion (I know, so boring. yet so functional.)
  • Favorite kind(s) of food: thai (Siri Thai at 52nd and Powell); MOD pizza; Primal Burger in Woodstock (those sweet potato fries and kale salad. yum).
  • Favorite color: teal/blue/black
