Ages 10 and 8, any ideas under 10 pounds? I have no idea what boys this age are into!

Lego (mini figures or mini set) If you go for mini set maybe Hobbit or Monster Fighters set?
Meccano small set
Moshi Monster blind bag
Trading cards (do they collect Moshi Monster ones or similar?)

If you go to Hawkins or similar you can get stuff like
Bouncy Balls
Stretchy Men
Underpants
Socks
Toothbrush
Chocolate coins
Toothpaste
Annual
Activity/colouring book

Excellent ideas, thank you.

I have two boys 7 & 4 and will be nicking all of these.

DS also wants some of those god awful tattoos so I might bung some of those in.

Prism,
magnet,
playing cards,

Set of dice from the learning windmill for dd1 with numbers up to 12 and mathematical functions for times tables practice.
Seeds to grow some veg in the spring.
Plus all the ideas above, can't go wrong with a minifig!

What about some jokes/tricks from your local toyshop? Whoopee cushions, comical oversized specs, flashing bow ties. If I remember, toys r u has a joke/pocket money section.
Stationery items? Rulers, rubbers, pens, box fileswith football teams, angry birds, or whatever they're into.

I got some small puzzle things from here:

And also have some christmas styled wash sponges from the bodyshop, a harmonica/tin whistle, the hobbit mini figures, some sweeties, a dvd, some origami post it notes, Lynx shower gel (mine are 11 & 12) or you could get Matey :)

I got them some silly sneaker socks too.

I just keep an eye out for little bits whenever I am in the supermarket and put them away
