Can anyone help please?

My grandchildren age 6(boy) and 4(girl) live abroad and are coming to visit me. I want to get them some presents. Any ideas?

Do they have a luggage allowance going home again?

Rain proof coats
Card games or mini games
Things they’ll use here like books or stickers things to make etc

My ds 4 is an absolute whizz at dominoes!! Maybe a table top game for the 6yo? Lots of travel versions of the real thing!

A Lego set each, they could bring it home in a zip lock bag and flatten the box to pack it, if luggage space is an issue.
Colouring/painting materials they could use up during their stay.
If the weather is set to be warm, a small paddling pool for the garden - not too expensive and can be kept at yours for next time.
Tell parents not to bother with pyjamas and buy them new ones.

What about children's cameras. My DC loved days out taking snaps then downloading and printing them off. Will be keepsakes of their trip. You can buy them suitable for age 3+.

I think the ones I bought we're under £20
