Practical:

writing paper and envelopes [for thank you letters]
slippers - they freeze before christmas day.
bubble bath / bath bombs
pens / pencils / rubbers /pencil tops
badges
lots of books - don't keep them back, chuck them in. God, I wanted to buy the whole of Waterstone's on Friday.
Diary

erm . .

Small lego box or Playmobil. You've gotta give them one bit of plastic, so they don't think you actually think they're 45. Slippers! I'm going to. . .

ahundredtimes · 18/11/2007 08:39

I bought ds1 this thing which fires chickens one year. Was very funny.

ahundredtimes · 18/11/2007 08:41

GodzillasBumcheek · 18/11/2007 08:54

Do they like crafts? Glitter glue, coloured card/paper, glue sticks, etc
Or craft kits?
Paint your own mug? (is that another way of saying 'self-portrait'?)
I dunno how old they are....
Mini stationery set - with a mini stapler in it, and a staple-gettter-outer....

Er, ok i give up, girls are way easier.
