Need help with a couple of pressies please!

[gregssausageroll]

Our neighbour has 4 children. 2 of each from about 12 down to 4. They are great kids. Bring in the bins, have helped shovel the drive, really polite and spend oodles of time with my DS aged 2 and have given him loads and loads of toys they no longer use.

I'd like to get them something for Christmas. Nothing huge as we're on a budget. A selection box each doesn't seem right but I don't want to spend a load on each of them. Can anyone think of 1 gift that could potentially cover them all?

Similarly, we've got people coming on boxing day and my friend is coming with her partner. Her son will be here who we know but her partner is bringing his 2 children who we have only met once before. I don't want them feeling left out so would like something under the tree for them too. Boy and girl ages 9 and 6.

Help!

For neighbours - how about a night in hamper to include - pop corn, doritos, sweets and a dvd, or a family board game

Would you mind saying what your budget is for each?

I have a few ideas.....

Good ideas. For the neighbours I'd probably spend about £20 for friends children may be slightly less.

Can you still share LeChat? Just in case you have a blinding idea and I think that's it!

Thanks

annuals - nearer to Christmas they come down in price or sometimes two for one
12 year old may love 5 pound i tunes voucher
Family game
Magasine and matching chocolates for each one - eg
Top Gear, Beano, Dr Who etc

For the neighbours:

icecream sundae glasses, maltesers, flakes, sprinkles and a tub of Ben and Jerry's

or

pizza making kit

or

popping corn, maple syrup, sea salt and a DVD

Love the DVD etc ideas.

Or you could get each child (either neighbours or boxing day lot) a comic/magazine. Such a variety of them you could find a different one for each sex/age.

And gives the BD lot something to occupy them if they are feeling bored/uncomfortable whilst at yours (just as they don't know you either not because you are boring/horrible!).

I LOVE the sundae idea!

Neighbours:
Do they have a Wii? Lots of games on Amazon around £20 that would stretch across the span of ages?
My niece and nephew LOVE Rapidough...
They also have [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hasbro-Trivial-Pursuit-Disney-Family/dp/B001UCFKFM/ref=sr_1_28?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1292090053&sr=1-28 this game] which says from 3 upwards...

For the visitors, I also think a board game all the kids can play while you chat, I would look through Amazon or Argos and then maybe check with your friend so see if they already own it.

Me too Greggs - but I can't find any sundae glasses anywhere! Want to buy irl not online.
