For our nephews. We don't really want to spend more than £10 each as we are pretty skint.

They both like the ipods (but can't get £10 vouchers anymore) and minecraft and football.

Any ideas?

I'd like to know this too.

I just sent my roughly same age cousins a nice crisp tenner each in a card - I don't know what to get them, and figured they'd enjoy having the money to spend . . .

Lego Minecraft... it's more expensive than £10. But you could get them set to share?
Airfix Kit?
Board game to share... Othello, Connect 4 etc?

My DSs are 9 and 10 and the crisp tenner suggestion is a winner. They love getting to choose themselves.

I think a tenner is great. I had aunts and uncles who sent me money when I was that sort of age. It was like getting jewels and rich spices! Money of my own! I even saved a bit of it at times :)

My 11 yr old was delighted with ten pounds to spend, he will add it to other bits of money he was gifted.

My boys are 9 and just 12.
How about goalie gloves, football annuals, calendars or posters of favourite teams. Minecraft books.
Alternatively my two loved those money box chocolate dispensers, about £8 each I think, or magic sets, gooey science and all that stuff.
You can't go wrong with sending the money either.
