Any links/ recommendations gratefully received.
Friend’s child’s birthday coming up, and it needs to be posted so nothing huge (the flatter the better really) around £10 max if possible so just a little token gift really
He is turning 5
Likes dinosaurs, paw patrol, diggers and vehicles. Quite a physical kid, stereotypical boy if you like.
Anybody have a child like this who would care to share any suggestions ? I’d be very grateful x

I have an almost 5yo quite similar who has just discovered Top Trumps and thinks it is the best thing ever. There is a dinosaurs set, that would fit in a jiffy bag.

You can usually get a pack of 3 or 4 hot wheels cars. Or orchard games are good at doing games aimed at that age group (some aren't too expensive).
Sometimes you can get small lego sets for around £10 - maybe see if there are any marvel themed ones. Think they may also do a dino themed set.

This is a good idea.

Top Trumps or Uno or Double are all good for this age, within budget and very small and flat to post. Plus, they're not noisy/plastic tat/don't have loads of pieces etc so your friend won't hate you for sending it!
