£10-15 gift ideas for children under 11

[Diolchynfawr]

I have three Godchildren and all of them have siblings.

I am happy to get them Christmas gifts, my criteria are 1. no more than £15 each (preferably £10) and 2. that they are generally suitable for any age/gender so they all get something similar. This helps prevent sibling disappointment if one is perceived to get a ‘better’ gift.

Anyway in the past I have given:

purses/wallets with chocolate coins
sticker books and stickers
Plain T-shirts with fabric pens
Family games (guess who / connect 4 etc)
Books (several times)
Make-your-own kits (various, for each age)

… and I am running out of ideas!!

Looking for inspiration. Can anyone help?

Please don’t say chocolate, one family don’t like their kids to have much chocolate, and another are Vegan so get loads of vegan stuff off everyone else.

In case it helps:

Family 1: ages G10,G8,B4
Family 2: ages B7, G3
Family 3: ages G9, B7, G4

Thanks!

Wicked Uncle is a great website for ideas. For the older ones I would look at something like the galt science and craft sets.

For the 3 and 4 year olds maybe book at Orchard games.

But as lots of them have older siblings I would ask the parents for some ideas and there maybe lots of things they already have.

Or what about a book or magazine each?

Jenga is £8.99 on Amazon at the moment.

Waterstones voucher

Board game to share? Articulate kids is fun and often on offer.

Could you get a family gift? So maybe a basketball net that they can put on the back of a door, with three mini basketballs?

Kids bedding, fluffy socks, blankets, hat and gloves sets, slippers, water bottles, fun pens, microwave teddies, bath bombs, backpacks, bracelets, art packs.

I’ve done a couple of hampers over the years for siblings:
Bath themed so bath bombs, bubble baths, jelly bath various magic flannels and a couple of bath toys/festive rubber ducks.

ice cream sundae: they needed to provide ice cream but the hamper contained ice cream bowls and spoons with various sprinkles and sauces.

Check the price of small attractions local to them such as farms, softplays and adventure golf you may be able to gift vouchers to cover the cost of family entry.

Lego Sets.
The younger ones can have the ones that say 4+ on the box (easier builds) but they are 100% all compatible with each other whether you buy different themes (City, Friends, Ninjago etc).
There are loads of sets that are £8.99 each.

£10 in a card and a bag of sweets

New pyjamas, and give the parents the gift receipt.
Yo yos.
Hula hoops.
Jigsaws.

Thanks for all these great ideas! I think this year could well be The Year of the Lego!
