B&M are really good for My Little Pony stuff. I got dd a fluttershy Pony figure from there for about £2.99 a few months ago. Definitely worth a look!

@bigarse1 you can get glow in the dark stick on solar systems same as the stick on stars many of us would have had when we are little. They are about £5 and wouldn't hang down or be removable. I've seen them in local stationers but sure other places have them Flowers. They are also less of a pain than most of the others (from someone who has had nearly every sort - stay away from the modelling clay ones - whole world of tears when the clay cracked and kept falling off).

Im sorry Ive always found Lewis and Cooper hampers good or alternatively Betty's of Harrogate. Worth a scout round their websites. Fortnums also used to do "entry level" hampers around your budget but I think in recent years they've increased in price. They weren't necessarily good value but had name value. Their Christmas puddings etc are really the nicest I've had and they do other nice things to include in a gift.

I wouldn’t use that board gamer website. It’s not secure and has bad reviews.

If you sign up to Costco via wowcher for £33 you get £14 of vouchers when you sign up, a free rotisserie chicken, 48AA batteries and a chocolate fudge cake. There's about 15 hours left on the deal.
