Please help me find the impossible. I am part of a charity which buys Christmas gifts on behalf of incarcerated parents for their children. Parents give their child's names, ages and interests. We buy a gift upto the value of £15 and they cannot reference anything to do with violence or weapons. I have and 6 year old and 8 year old boy to buy for who's parent has have only listed fortnite. Any ideas for a non-violent fortnite toy under £15 which isn't complete tat?

You would have to take out the action figure though.

Get them a nice Lego set for £12 or so (Sainsbury's often have sets at good prices) and then a token relating to Fortnite eg key ring, pencil case, magazine or mug. Fortnite branded toys are expensive and you'll have the weapons issue with most of them. Also, when my boys like a game, they like the game iykwim, they don't want the associated branded toys.

Fortnite clothing, stationery set, books

I agree with above, some construction type toy and maybe something with the fortnite logo etc to go with it.

Hmm, that is tricky as they all seem to have weapons.

The Works have some things - there's a bumper stationary set with pencil case etc, a learn to draw book and a llama plush keyring. These would be £13.75.

B&M had a fortnite stationary set in, contained pencil tin, pencil, pen and notebooks. Then get a Lego set.

Amazon do fortnite back packs and lunch boxes, you can get a fortnite Llama teddy from Argos, I read somewhere Poundland we’re doing a fortnite stationary set. There’s also a really famous fortnite player called Ninja who has just brought a new book out which is being sold on Amazon.

Thanks all, I have bought them some 'Fortnite' racing beans each and then a puzzle ball/outdoor game respectively. It's turning into a big problem this year with most kids (many being as young as 3 and 4) listing Fortnite as the only interest.

On the plus side, The Entertainer have a cracking sale on right now. 😁
