Gift ideas for a 4 year old?

Can any of you smart women give me a gift idea for a 4 year old boy.
It has been many years since I had such a small one!

He is not much into cars or football, but loves adventure type things- dinosaurs and volcanoes were two things his Mum mentioned.
I would like to spend no more than £20, and it has to be fairly lightweight as I have to post it overseas. ( So no big kits with lumps of cement) Any recommendations??

How about something like this I know it’s a little over budget.

I love a saxoflute for that age, so many ways to play with it, in budget and will post.

Lego? My 4 year old has just discovered it and loves it

Playmobil? Ds has loved it since was 3 or so. Depending on where overseas might be able to order from the relevant country's playmobil website as well.

There are some nice dinosaur giant floor puzzles on Amazon. DS (4.5) is a big fan of floor puzzles.

Also cheap (£11) and light to post.

There is a really good dinosaur puzzle on argos, it's in 2 for £15. I was thinking of getting it for my 4 year old :)

⬆️ The Lego, dinosaur puzzle and adventurer kit all mentioned above would be a great hit with my DS

Depending on where overseas I'd try to order in that country, either via Amazon or other local store. Save the postage or you'll easily end up spending another £20 on postage.

Speak with the parents and get them to wrap it.
