Good cheap birthday present for a 9 year old....

[bitzy12]

Ideas?

There's a party coming up - 4 boys birthdays together in one.

Usually I spend about £10 on presents but this time I just can't, especially as I need to buy 4 presents. That's £40 plus cards.....

Ideas for cheap but good presents for 9 year old boys?

I'd do box set of books, split them up, one each with a packet of sweets.

As an aside, I think a joint party for four is a bit naughty. You can't get much change out of a fiver for a reasonable present, then wrapping paper and a card, you're looking at minimum of £24 to attend the party. Bit unfair.

World Cup football cards. Everyone collecting at the moment

Have all four boys invited your son or was the invitation from just one boy?

My DS and friend would be delighted with a couple of packs of match attack cards and some sweets. Last year he got these bunch o balloons water balloons which were a hit too, you can get cheap ones on eBay

David Badiels Birthday Boy is £3.99 from Amazon. Add a bar of chocolate or some sweets would make a good gift.
There are some good Airfix models under £7 in Hobbycraft.
