Santa's Grotto presents for year 4, 5 and 6 boys. Any ideas please?

[mckenzie]

I've bought for all the others years and the girls of those years but I'm really stuck for ideas for these older boys. Any ideas gratefully received.

TIA

how much money to be spent please? i love spending other peoples money!!

[mckenzie]

this is my first year but historically, we usually spend between 75p and £1.75 it seems. It can't be calendars as if they are not used this year, they can get carried over to the next. Thanks chimchar

recommended from another pta christmas fair thread. this company will pack up grotto pressies at £1.10 each. might be worth looking if you've got loads to buy.

Try Hawkins Bazaar

Home Bargains and £ stretcher - stationery sets. About £1 each.

thanks guys. Stationery sets have been done to death hormonalmum at our school so I need to keep away from them. I'll try that website twinklytoes - thank you. And I was wondering if Hawkins Bazaar do wholesale prices?? We have a shop locally but the shop cost price of anything suitable for Santa's Grotto gifts is too high.

sets of books from the book people split up seem to work consistently well in the schools I've helped in.

Whoopee cushions.
Every boy 9and in fact girl!) I know love these and they are pretty cheap.
Could always put something else with them if too cheap, check out hawkins Bazaar
