Presents for under a Fiver

[PorkChopSter]

Any suggestions? I need to get presents for friends' children and godchildren for less than £5 each.

Boys and girls, aged 3 to 12.

Thanks

This is a good site...compliments of another lovely MNetter

If any of them have PSP's you can pick up PSP UMD's (films to me and you) starting at 99p on play.com :-)

^^ Nah, Nintendo DSi possibly though.

Campus gifts is like Tickseed, I have got stocking fillers from there a plenty.

Any one else?

Usborne sticker books are a good bet, I think. They have ones to suit a variety if ages, from £3.99 upwards. I particularly like the ABC, 123 and dressing up ones for 3-4 year olds.

Try TKMaxx. They usually have some decent stuff around the £3.99 mark. I usually get birthday party presents from there.

Hobbycraft have lots of craft kits for under a fiver or, at least, they did last year.

If any of them are older girls who might like smellies, Tesco had a lot of their gift sets half price at the weekend, from £2 - £4 and some of them are really nice.

I just bought this for a friend's wee girl, she's 9.

How cute is that? Want one for myself! They can wrap it up nice for you too if you like.

For crafty types how about a Meccano-style car, a bug making kit, a flower press, a friendship bracelet making kit or a Cars 2 colouring set?

For toys how about foam gun, a snowball maker, a lego speed boat, a finger puppet theatre or a grooming set for a soft toy?

There are some good books out there. How about this moshi monsters book or a Worst Witch Collection. Lots more at The Book People here?

For older kids how about this pretty bag, a mood ball, a High School Musical bath set or a hexbug?

For little ones how about a vtech car, an animal torch, a book and cd of The Snowman, or a glove puppet?

Can you tell £5 is my budget for a lot of presents this year?

lego creator "pods" 4.99 , the right bits and instructions to make 3 vehicles ( not all 3 at once th) in a plastic pot. DS age 5 loves them. His cousins age 7, 9 and 12 also love them.

Torches. Always a hit in our house, though they are 2 & 3!

Some fantastic research from AtTheEndoftheday there.
