I know there's more as i've been getting things since July!

budget here too and no sewing stuff. Otherwise, who knows? it's November .....

Don't worry guys my budget is very small too. DD is getting the best presents the rest of the family are getting whatever is on offer at tk maxx love it!

Roller skates, helmet and pads.
Mario olympics for the wii
Art stuff
Books

We bought the Wii game pre-owned and the books came in sets from The Book People, so it wasn't too hard to stay within budget.

I haven't actually started shopping yet, but top of DD(10)'s wish list is a hot glue gun - she is very into craft and already has a sewing machine.

I expect she will also want more Monster High stuff, but she got a load for her birthday recently, so I'm not sure what's left to get...

Otherwise, probably some Lego (Ninjago or Monster Hunters, or possibly one of the architectural/famous buildings sets), almost certainly some books (I think there are a few Robert Muchamore ones she hasn't got yet), maybe some CDs or DVDs, and probably some clothing. She's in that tweeny stage of wanting toys and more teenagey stuff.

DD (8):

In-line skates, as hers have fallen apart
Michael Morpurgo box set
Some grisly books about vampires
Gangsta Granny
Socks
Terrible Tudors jigsaw
Beano annual

That's it, thus far!

3b1g phew, I was beginning to feel like scrooge, my budget is similar to yours!

Dd (8yo) is having

An xbox and kinect.
Dance central.
New board games.
Pair of vans.
Hoodie (not sure which yet)
A few onesies.
Clothes.
Accessories for her laptop.
Books.
A craft hamper.

She has never liked dolls or playsets.

I like the sewing basket idea, will try to remember that one for her 9th birthday next summer.

DD(8) is getting (from us / FC), including bits that go in her stocking:

collection of Magic tricks
Fleecy Pyjamas
Revolting recipes book and a jar of ingredients (home made) to make a recipe from the book

From GPs she's getting a Nintendo DS - second-hand from my Niece, with a few games - some extra games kept in reserve for her next birthday!

Ileithyia: about £50 on each child including the stuff in the stocking.

DD is 8, she'll be getting:
A board game called Enchanted Forest (similar to Labyrinth)
A game for the Wii called Animal Crossing
2 Fetlocks Hall books
3 Cornelia Funke books (the ones for younger girls)

Plus the Brownie Annual from the grandparents

Plus some bits & bobs from FC (a LPShop beanie & some Poundland type stuff)

She has two godparents who will probably buy her craft kits.

Holy shit, just how much do you people spend on christmas presents for your children??

DD is a very young 10 though and still loves her dolls. It doesn't seem much when you type it out like that but her gp are getting all three a trampoline to share so i think that will trump anything I get her
