I have two neices and a nephew that are 12 and 13 and live a long way away so sadly don't see very often. I have no idea what to buy them....when they were little they were happy with a cuddly toy and a sticker book but I'm really stuck for ideas.

We also keep to a £10 budget for children in my family as there are a lot of them so I find that difficult as well. Please could I have some inspiration?

I’m buying mine clothes because they asked. With your budget what about a book? Literally just ask their parents what they are into- or what about a deodorant / cheapo perfume sets- bath bombs etc.

We've got our 13 yo niece a calligraphy set from the works. She's in to arts n crafts. They have a few nice kits in there for under £10.00.

Tenner in a card.

It's a difficult age. I have an 11yo DS who is quite grown up for his age and he just doesn't really have anything on his Christmas lists.

Things for a tenner that he would like:
food
blanket
fluffy socks
next book in the series he's reading
phone sock
highlighters
t-shirt (but he likes Quba, and that wouldn't come in at 10 quid)

However, what he would REALLY like is 10 quid on his GoHenry so he could blow it on pixels.
