I need to buy for my niece and nephew..... Looking for inspiration! My niece needs to be able to take her present back home on a plane so nothing bulky. And in the ideal world I will be able to order these on line.

Thanks.

I did crafty for her last year. Is it possible to do too much crafty for girls?

My kids are boys. I am happy that one can never have too much Lego!

My two girls can never get too much crafty stuff. Stationary (notebooks, stickers, pens, rubbers) are also popular.

Go to home bargains. They are selling the girl from monsters inc for around 8 pounds. She speaks and my dd would love her.

fuzzpig · 08/12/2013 08:48

Agree a small lego set is good for that price, or what about a set of mini lalaloopsies? My DD was sent some last year (thanks to MN appeal! Thanks) and she absolutely loves them!

TheDayOfMyDoctor · 08/12/2013 08:48

I have a 5 year old DS, and his current obsessions are Dr Who, moshi monsters and angry bird Star Wars toys.

He also loves lego, playmobil, audio books/story CDs, colouring in and dressing up.

GinAndaDashOfLime · 08/12/2013 08:49

Look at Argos 2 for £15 toys. Huge range

Kantha · 08/12/2013 08:49

An alarm clock or watch (learning to tell the time at school ATM)

ShoeWhore · 08/12/2013 08:50

6yo Ds would love Star Wars fighter pods or Lego or a Hexbugs V2 set. Or maybe a magic set?

Ragwort · 08/12/2013 08:53

The money Grin.

My loves choosing something for himself.

Please only give Lego if you are sure the child likes it - my DS was never interested in Lego and we were given bucket loads over the years Sad which went straight to charity shops.

SilverSixpence · 08/12/2013 10:18

My Ds really wants a switch and go dino or a skylanders megabloks set

ABitterPIL · 08/12/2013 10:29

Dd is an eclectic little thing. In smyths 2 for 15 i managed to get her a tinkerbel fairy and an army helecopter....

womma · 08/12/2013 10:35

My 5yo DD loves sticker books and activity books. For £15 pounds you could put together a lovely pack for your niece and they'd be perfect for plane travel too.

WHSmith have 3 for 2 on the Usborne sticker books, so you'd get three for £12.

orangepudding · 08/12/2013 10:40

Dressing up costume.

DisneyAddict88 · 08/12/2013 15:35

this would be my dd (5) perfect pressie Grin

moshi monsters - they have a few special tins on amazon for around £6
a sticker book which all little girls love!! dd had a handbag shaped one that was brilliant if not usbourne do some.

then a book to read on plane - dd loves you choose and spells and smells which amuse her for ages!! also enjoys the fairytale hairdresser, winnie the witch , fish who could wish, tiger who came to tea, dogs dont do ballet or any julia donaldson/Charlie an lola/little princess books.

all able to be ordered on amazon and under budget Grin

grabaspoon · 08/12/2013 15:37

my just turned 6 is going to love his mp3 player (£8 toys r us) microscope for the garden (£6 amazon)

I have 5 yo twins. I'd go for dressing up for both in your shoes. Sainsburys doing 25% until the 9th and their dressups are very nice. My dd would be pretty chuffed with colouring in books, craft kits she can't get enough! Ds likes wooden stampers, lovely sets on Amazon (Doug?) and audio books. If your nephew is a Lego boy, the Creator 3 in 1 sets are fab.
