Toy Donations Needed for Calgary Teens This Holiday Season, Accepted at All Calgary London Drugs

We have once again partnered with Jack FM Radio Calgary and 660 News Calgary for the eighth annual Toys 4 Teens holiday campaign, which aims to collect gift donations for 10 to 17 year olds in Calgary.

Generous Calgarians donate thousands of gifts each year for young children through various toy drives in the city, but the number of gifts donated for teens and tweens often falls short of demand. The reason for the shortage is that teens can be a tricky group to buy for.

Whether you’re shopping for your own child, or a child in need, London Drugs has a great selection of gifts for music and book fans to mini-fashionistas and even the most hard-to-buy-for youth, at every price point.

• Gift Ideas for Teens and Tweens – Under $30
  
• Gift Ideas for Teens and Tweens – Under $50
• Gift Ideas for Teens and Tweens – Under $100
• Tech Gift Ideas for Teens and Tweens

1. Gift Cards: London Drugs, iTunes, Google Play
2. Electronics: phone and camera accessories, video games, computer games, mp3 players, speakers, cameras
3. Beauty Products: nail kits, hair straighteners, curling irons, hair accessories, jewelry, make-up kits, bath & body sets, cosmetic bags, make-up brushes
4. Home decor: lamps, vanity mirrors, blankets, NHL sports memorabilia
