I am useless this year. Totally and utterly unable to think what to buy anyone.

My 3 children.
Dd 15. No idea what to put in her stocking. She's only having a stocking and a main present as main present expensive. Same for 12 year old ds. Both love Minecraft.
5 year old ds, need help wi all his presents. No idea what so ever. He's autistic and has global delay so is more like a 2 year old.

Then I buy for my auntie, uncle, cousin (mid 30s man).

Also my sister, BiL, nephew (15), quirky niece (14) and 2 other nieces age 11 & 8.

Any help/ideas would be lovely.

£15 budget per head, other than my kids and sister.

Thank you all so much.

Btw, I have been looking online but for some reason, am overwhelmed!

I could maybe do with a theme or something!

Have you seen the "wreck my journal" or "listography" books? They might be quite good for nieces? Or Djeco are doing rather nice magic tricks for slightly younger nieces - fancy packaging and props. That's what my lot are getting anyway Smile

I might be able to help with your five year old as I have a little boy who is four and autistic and a child who will be nearly two at Christmas (so will be playing with things similar to your son's developmental age)

My older son's list (he likes electronic toys, letters, numbers and drawing):
Main - Leapreader and books
Kiddizoom Camera
Smart Snacks Ice Cream (if your son is in to letters or numbers the 'Smart Snacks' range on Amazon is very cool)
Wooden alphabet puzzle
Playmobil Shuttle Bus
Crayola white board and pens set
Leapreader spelling card set
Circus tent (share with his brother)

My younger son's list (he likes Mickey Mouse and vehicles):
Main - Cozy Coupe shopping trolley with Sing and Giggle Mickey Mouse to sit in it
Green Toys Fire Engine
Wheelies launcher
Tiny 'n' Tuff car transporter
Lightning McQueen torch car
Wow Toys Dudley Dump Truck
Peterkin set of dinosaurs (these are lovely soft dinosaurs so are safe if he chews things)
Circus tent (share with his brother)

The tent would be my main recommendation though, it could be fun, big impact present that can be folded away. He could enjoy hiding in it or playing with his toys in there. My son uses his tents (he has many!) to hide if he is feeling overwhelmed so they are good for that too. We set them up on busy days like Christmas so he always has a place to escape to.

What does you son enjoy doing? I might be able to help with some more specific suggestions. Sorry I am not much help for the others as I don't have either girls or teenagers.
