2025 HOLIDAY GIVING

SPARK OF LOVE TOY DRIVE

Together, we can spark joy and make the Holidays brighter for local youth.

This November, the Woman’s Club is proudly partnering with the Laguna Beach Firefighters to support their annual Spark of Love Toy Drive.

We know the joy that comes from giving — and how meaningful it can be to brighten a child’s holiday.

The Club is planning to contribute over 50 new toys and invites members and friends to join us in collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children ages 13–17.

Ideas for kids 13 to 17:

  1. Collectibles, nostalgia and “newstalgia”
    Older teens are buying collectibles, trading cards, building sets. Re-released classic board games, card games, or console/handheld retro style. “Throwback” editions of toys or games (e.g., original franchise with retro packaging).

  2. Social / party games & group experiences
    Games that are fun in a group setting—friends over, sleep-overs, casual competitive games—are very appealing at this age.

  3. Tech-enhanced / building
    Building sets (e.g., advanced versions), tech toys, even VR or AR experiences. 

  4. Identity, creativity & self-expression
    Customizable, visually distinctive. DIY/creative kits (art, building, maker spaces)

  5. Physical play there’s still appetite for physical; sports/outdoor gear.

Drop-Off Days/Times:

  • Monday, November 17th - 5:00pm - 7:00pm

  • Wednesday, November 19th - 8:00am - 9:00am (Jedidiah Coffee - 397 PCH)

  • Monday, November 24th - 5:30pm - 8:00pm - Game Night

  • Tuesday, November 25th - 10:00am - 1:00pm
