Class friend birthday present ideas

[Hocuspocusnonsense]

If your children have recently attended the birthday party of a class friend aged 5,6 or 7....what did they give as a present?

Looking for ideas....

TIA

6yo girl - received lots of craft sets, aqua beads, little purses etc

7/8/9yo girl - stationery, science kits

£7-£12 budget depending on how close and usually something consumable or small.

Oh and Polly pocket for 6yo going down well.

I give the same present to everyone for a year then switch! Normally two small things adding to around £12. Takes away the stress. I’ve done usborne sticker books, bath fizz, waboba frisbees and moon balls. I’m thinking cool water bottles next.

Thank you Muggle and Finch good ideas!

And Finch I love the idea of same present for everyone and do same the next year!

I’ve got 12 parties coming up for 6 and 7 year olds! A lot of spring and summer birthdays.

Ive been looking at Orchard Toys games eg: Magic Maths and First Times Tables, and the Usborne Dolly Dressing sticker books ballet fairies/unicorns and those Real Littlies bags. I’m trying to stick to £10 per present.

A "secret diary" notebook with a small lock on was my go to for a while.

£10 in an envelope. Most of these small presents don’t get used.

Money for 6+

Anyone under that got pollypocket, bracelet making kits, barbie, marvel type toys.

Depends
6 year old girl my daughters close to we got a polly pocket
6 year old boy my daughter is just in the same class with spent half the amount on top trumps and a fossil hacking game thing.

I buy smallish Lego sets on offer (so they work out about £8 a set but are worth about £12). Close friends I’d get them something more personal.

Although both my DS’s best EVER present was a £10 book token, so what would I know?!

I used to give an Amazon voucher £10 to a general classmate where the whole class was invited but a £20 voucher to best friends where only 3 or 4 children were invited to an activity with food after. I just never know what they would like or what they already have either. I just thought let them pick their present out themself then they do at least get something they like/want and also have the option, if getting several vouchers, of adding them all together to get a bigger gift.

I was spending approx £15 on presents for my 5 year old classmates. Then I had his party and nearly all of them gave £20 in a card

One of mine was given one of these about that age. Still comes out today from time to time and they are 13 & 15.
