Something daft, large and cheap

We are doing table gifts this year instead of crackers and the limit for each person is £5. Anyone got any ideas of something really daft, big and cheap that’d raise a laugh. Bonus if it can be worn or is inflatable.
Needs to be reasonably family friendly (oldies) but everyone is over 16.

Inflatable Santa, ghetto blaster, guitar, yes I’m very sad I look for fun things.

Space hopper?

Qwenzo · 06/11/2020 20:22

Ah a space hopper would be amazing! Bet you can’t get one for a fiver though.

An inflatable punch bag (the novelty kind, not a proper one that costs £££).

Qwenzo · 06/11/2020 20:32

Thanks for the space hopper link 👍 reindeer toss is also good but I bought it last year!

Saw in B&M today a twerking game for £5 where you have a box on your back (for 2 people) and it's first one to 'twerk' out the balls inside the box wins.

Now this is a tenner but once you've looked at it the recommendations will lead you down a sad, sad path Grin

I second the inflatable Zimmer frame, it was a birthday present last year for a special birthday.

Bean Boozled - Russian roulette with jelly beans. Half are delicious flavours, half are things like stinky socks, lawn clippings or worse...

@FannysSteadiedBuffs I wish that wasn’t a tenner. It is exactly what we’d all laugh at!

A plastic sledge

Inflatable Boris or Trump?

Bikingbear · 06/11/2020 23:41

Depending on your crowd a Shewee could raise a good giggle. Marginally more useful that blow up junk.

All excellent ideas thank you 👍

Could you chop it in half?

I was going to say the inflatable boyfriend/girlfriend.

Not particularly large, but his about rude modelling balloons?
