DD has 4th party to go to tomorrow. To top it off they’re twins so I have to get two presents. They’re from her nursery though so I’ve never really met them before (never met the parents). So what the hell do I buy? No idea what they like, what they might have.
Any ideas for cheap presents that are generic but not shit? Or can I get away with one slightly more expensive present like a game they could share. Or is that mean to twins? I can’t think!

Another vote for Tiger and Lidl. I picked up good size Duplo sets in Lidl three weeks ago for £6.99 each.

Agree with having a bag of gifts, ideally not clearly for boys or girls, so at this age, orchard games, playdough sets, jigsaws etc. Then some cheap cards.

You will find you have a lot of parties when your dd starts school, makes life easier if you have stuff to grab quickly.
