DIY KIDS SUMMER GIFT BASKET & IDEAS ON A BUDGET! | KIDS SUMMER ESSENTIALS | SUMMER 2024

Summer is here and I’m making a fun, budget gift basket! With summer camp starting, in this video I go shopping at Wal-Mart for all the kid’s summer essentials. PLUS - I’m doing it all for less than $100! Then I’m setting up and decorating this summer gift basket to surprise my 7 year old!
