Books from The Book People - buy a pack of 10 and split. Ideal for this age range too.

Hi. Agree with book people and then splitting. Also in bargain bookshops they often have colouring books for £1 each (Hello Kitty and the like). I often dish theses out with some crayons and a bit of cake. Parents do seem very pleased not to have a bag of plastic rubbish!

If you use the book people then remember to try their clearance store, bananas - when they only have a few left of something and don't want it on their main site, they stick it on the bananas site - and you can get the packs of books even more cheaply.

They currently have a pack of 8 Balamory books for £3, 6 fairy books for £4 and just spotted the complete Thomas collection of 50 books for £15 although drat, think that might now be out of stock .

If you are looking for something in particular you maybe need to be watching the site a bit more regularly than the book people as the stock turnover is a bit quicker than the book people site as there are just a few of things but if you don't mind too much they usually have something that is suitable for fairly general categories of boy/girl/age group - but say you wanted fairy princess books for a themed party you might want to watch the site and get them when you see them IYSWIM.

I got playdoh from tesco, a huge box of 20 small tubs for £8, and put two tubs in each bag, plus a couple of balloons and mini jam dodgers. For second birthday, but he's got a big brother so children's age was from 18 months to 4 years old, and those presents were suitable for all the kids.
