...but I just need some really really quick inspiration. I need a small present each for 3 siblings - girl (15), boy (13), girl (8). Ideally the same gift, and under £10 each. Quirky or unusual fine, but not silly. Previously have done lush bath bombs, mosaic coaster sets, those cardboard animal models, that sort of thing... I will trawl Google and the shops, but someone may have the perfect suggestion!

Yabu expecting to get three siblings of different ages and sexes the same gift!
...book tokens?

I have just bought a ‘create your own comic book’ from Amazon. Was £9.99 and looks good fun.

I have a dd16 and ds13 and there isn’t much overlap in their interests… so adding an even younger child would be very tricky indeed. What about similar but different? Like a mug and £10 Starbucks voucher for the 15yo, mug and Amazon voucher for 13 and mug and Roblox voucher for youngest?

Or socks, smellies and sweets could work too!

A lot of the supermarkets have KPop Demon Hunter t shirts for under a tenner. There is a good chance the 8 year old would love one.

Card games ? Exploding kittens , go sushi , Uno (probably alteady have ) gubs...

stichguru · 12/12/2025 21:53

I really wouldn't be trying to get the same gifts for those ages! The Works would probably have things for all of them but I imagine the 8 year old would be more into stickers or a toy like Lego. The teen won't be into that - maybe something like stationary or a book.

Personalised mug each.

Isadora2007 · 12/12/2025 21:57

Cinema vouchers and popcorn boxes?

A family games night in- a few games and some sweets/fizzy drinks. My kids of all ages love that Tapple game with the letters round the outside…

Fleece blankets each and sweets for a movie
night in…

Those wee metal tube keyrings that you can put an emergency tenner in.

Seagull4a · 12/12/2025 21:59

Chess sets!

Oldieandgoldie · 12/12/2025 22:02

Three small games they can all play together, eg UNO, Taco, OK, Trionimoes?

Ladyluckinred · 12/12/2025 22:06

OP, just get them some chocolates, like the selection boxes. I got one every year from a distant aunty, atleast you can get all three kids the same or similar.

PInkyStarfish · 12/12/2025 22:06

Hoodie blankets?

They come in all sizes.

I buy blankets for my dogs from here and they post out quickly.
