If you're a Savvy Auntie of a special needs niece or nephew who is watching her wallet this season, here are some relatively inexpensive gift ideas they are sure to love:

DVDs: KWSN (Kids with Special Needs) love to watch TV or movies. That's why a gift of the latest kids DVD, like High School Musical 3 or Madagascar, is a great idea.

iTunes Gift Card:  For those KWSN who are musicians, teenagers or just love rhythm.

Bookstore gift card: An especially good gift where you and the KWSN can spend time reading and learning in a bookstore together.

Body Relaxtion:  Fun shampoos and conditioners, lavendar oils, bath toys and bubblebath are some fun things to have in the bath while the KWSN body relaxes and de-stresses.

Cookbook and Food Shopping Spree: There are some great kids' cookbooks out there which feature kid-friendly food!  Why not give a great kids' cookbook, then take your niece or nephew with special needs to the grocery store with a list of ingredients for their favorite recipe, and spend the day making and enjoying hot chocolate, warm cookies or chicken burgers together.
