Child is under 5, and in my family.

I’ve got:

a peppa pig art set - this is the main present, it’s a decent size.

Four colouring books, a sticker book and some crayons

a large puzzle

a little “pet care” toy - just a little dog and some accessories

all are within the appropriate age range. Is this enough??? Looking at it now it seems quite small and I might need to raid their Christmas presents to boost it.

total cost is probably about £45

Obviously the child loved them and that's great! I used to love spoiling my nieces and nephews before I had kids of my own and would buy stacks of presents. And then I became a parent and realised my sister probably hated me for it, as kids just end up with far too much stuff! You sound like an awesome (I'm guessing) auntie, but check that the parents are as thrilled with lots of gifts.
The suggestion of a day out is a great one. You could do it as a special 1:1 day out somewhere you know they will love. Maybe gift a scrapbook with some hints to where you are going and then they can stick pics in the scrapbook when they get back.
