Cheap, but not nasty Father Christmas gifts for 30+ children

For a Father Christmas appearance at a huge family/friends/neighbours Christmas party.

-Needs to suitable from ages 3-15 years.
-One thing that suits all, so no-one disappointed (and it's pretty chaotic, so things might get mixed up)
-Cheap! Less than £1 per child, preferably less.

Last year I did these selection packs from Wilko. Can anyone see anything to beat that? I'd like to do something different, but can't really see anything else in budget that works as well.

Any suggestions welcome.

What about a santas sleigh made of sweets. You could get most of this in bulk from the pound shop, so would be about a pound a child, though would take a bit of time on your part

Thanks OP, I think this will suit me well for Christmas myself! Can't think of anything to better it Star

All the same is going to be tricky. I agree, you probably need to go with sweets of some kind. No chance you can split into age groups?

WOW! That sleigh is brilliant! I am so pinching that idea!
Thank you!

I like the Christmas ducks!

As long as you know they can all have sweets/chocolate that is a much safer choice. Same for all. Also love the sleigh.

You could buy reindeer food for the younger children, but then there's the difficulty of the inbetween ages, knowing whether they believe in Santa still.

That sleigh is fabulous! I've saved a pic 😊 Those ducks are also great. I think they really would suit all ages. Lol at whoopy cushions. That would be so fun as everyone there could keep trying. Would add a bit of hilarity! Do you know.

You can only really go with chocolate with those age ranges. Bubbles, whoops cushions, even snowmen soup etc are all a bit young - my DDs ages 9&11 wouldn't want them nevermind kids of 15! (No offense anyone it's just harder for older kids)
