Post friendly children's gifts

[floofycroissant]

I need post friendly gifts for my nieces and nephews, sadly unlikely to see them this in person this year. I can't think of anything else other than book tokens or vouchers?!

Ages range between 3-12, with a £20-£25 budget each. Last year we did magazine subscriptions but I think they found that underwhelming.

It would help if you were more specific with age, gender and likes/interests.

Dance, fashion, art/drawing, pop music, the piano, Lego, tractors and trains

I'd probably order something from amazon to be delivered to them gift wrapped tbh.

I agree with Stompy, I would order from Amazon, have them gift wrap it, and deliver direct to the recipient.
I have done this a couple of times with my great-nephews. Not been able to get gift wrap, but they have been quite happy to open a John Lewis, Entertainer etc parcel. You just need to tip off their parents not to open the parcel beforehand!

What do you mean by post friendly? Fits in a letterbox?

I ask because it's not that expensive to send a parcel, Royal Mail or Hermes.

I was just hoping to avoid Amazon , I just wondered if there was a gifty subscription or something fun idea from an indie that I could get posted out to them.

I just subscribed to this for dd for a Christmas present

I received the Christmas one pictured today which i will wrap and save for xmas, but then have an ongoing subscription monthly thereafter. I’m really impressed with it - the book looks great, and the stuff with it i think will really appeal to dd. They do alternative (but same theme) boxes for 3+, 6+, and 9+.

I got it from www.uopen.com/ and there are loads of good idea ones there. I think they can all be got as one-offs as well.

Money. It’s not very imaginative but at least they can buy what they want especially if they have something specific in mind. Even my 3 yo knows exactly what’s she wants and she certainly won’t be getting it all, but if she gets given money I will happily take her to the shop to buy it herself.

I’d definitely avoid vouchers in this climate.

That's lovely thanks @RubaiyatOfAnyone, great idea.

@AliceMck yes you might be right, especially for the tweens.
