magnetix box of 400 pieces

was £80 in Argos, reduced to £40 and then reduced to £25

An absolute bargain

Star Wars lego; Bionicles; binoculars; wind-up torch; Dr Who book (he has Captain Underpants and Horrid Henry already - he likes them (I don't)).

Anything in the horrible histories/science genre. We have a bunch of CDs that came of cereal packets - boys laugh like drains at the stuff. And anything Dr Who, natch.

Forgot also got Star Wars Monopoly and the Lego contraptions book and Match annual.

On the hunt for Ben 10 Nintendo DS game but if we don't manage to find it I am not too bothered as have just realised how much he has!

Lego Star wars here too - also an Ant Farm and Zoob Car designer. An embarrassing amount of stuff for stocking which I've been buying since Sept, shoving under the bed and forgetting about it!

Star Wars Death Star that opens out
mini star wars figures to play in said Death Star!
Magic set
glo sticks
Dr Who top
mini transformer
whiteboard
lego
possibly a game for his gameboy

Got lots from e-bay this year so we could afford to get slightly more than usual!

Phew!

Was Hamleys packed??

We went in October and I hated it! Couldn't wait to get out - was terrified that if there was a fire/bomb scare or something that there would be a huge crush problem.

Give me ToysRUs any day!
