DN - 4yrs old

DN - 15mths old

MIL - about £30 mark

FIL - about £30 mark

BF son - 8yrs old - about £15 mark

i would wait until the Boots brochure comes out and then you may be able to buy everything in the 2 for 3 offers and also save money. They have toys for the children and gift sets for adults, MIL and FIL i would maybe buy a nice hamper between them, such as the tea and biscuit hampers Boots do and maybe some small smellies for each of them. Or what about a subscription to their favourite magazines? I would ask DNs's parents what they might want, ask for three or four things each and then pick one of them - that way they get what they want and will use, also there is no fear of doubling up. I always give my side of the family a list with various present ideas ranging from a couple of pound to £20 that way they can buy something in whatever price range they have. I have a smallish family and make sure they discuss with each other what they are buying or i give them different lists of about four or five things each.

For my dd 22mth she likes anything In the night garden lot's of stuff for this and my 4 year old likes Charlie and Lola and Peppa pig if that helps or anything singing / dancing related.
What about lego for boy , always good for ds or set of Horrid Henry books. The lego ramses pyramid game looks good but that about £20 you can get other lego games cheaper.
Are your il's into gardening ?
The rocket garden , very good company do xmas gift vouchers thinking of doing that for mine.
I also did theatre tickets last year which went down well!
