'Membership' type present for girls age 6 & 8 - inspiration needed!

[triathlonmum]

Hi
Trying to think of presents for my daughters aged 6 & 8 which will last throughout the year and is not more 'stuff' to be homed. I've looked at membership to the Puffin Post book club which looks quite good - wondered if anyone had any similar ideas? Or perhaps sponsoring an animal or something like that? What's good out there??

Thanks!

First News

Do you live close enough to a zoo/wet centre to make membership to somewhere like that an option? Leads to lots of fun family days out throughout the year!

Love First News! Zoo great idea too, thanks

My ds (7) has a cinema pass which I pay for every month instead of pocket money/sweets/magazines etc. He loves the cinema and so do I, so its a lovely activity that we can share, just the two of us.

Club penguin?

moshi monsters or grid club if they use the PC?

local science centre/activity centre annual membership?

check out the tesco clubcard site (even if you don't want to use clubcard vouchers) as they have quite a few of the membership type schemes listed. RSPB do one i think, as do one of the conservation groups i'm sure.

Young Archaeologists' Club?

Are they near any big museums which do children's memberships?

We've had a lot of use out of our family [[http://www.rspb.org.uk/ RSPB] membership which includes ds's membership of Wildlife Explorers. You can get individual WE memberships too.

It probably depends on whether you have a reserve near you, or any active Wildlife Explorer groups, but you can check that out on the website.

Ds is 5 and will probably get even more out of it when he's a bit older.

Moshi monsters for the 8 yr old also club penguin.

That should be: www.rspb.org.uk/

I knew you would all have some great suggestions - fab thank you

Also the junior national geographic worth a look...
