Any surprising great hit presents? I have 4 children to buy for ages 4-12

Will be seeing them next week so haven’t got presents yet (this is normal for our family).
But hoping for inspiration from any great presents your DC got!
Also a few adult presents if you got anything good?

9 year old dd loves the how to draw amime book she got along with a set of artists pencils. She's actually been really absorbed in drawing. Also loves the chocolate melting pot. That's been a hit with both dds.

6year old has loved her craft boxes and her top model sticker books.

We have a six year old and a two year old so at the lower end of your age range, but they have loved the den building kit we got for about £12 from The Works. You just need an old sheet or lightweight blanket to chuck over the top.

My 4 yo, out of everything he got, loves this cheapo rocket launcher!

LET'S GOT! 6 Pcs Rocket Toy Launcher for Kids Boys Toys Garden Toys Cool Outdoor Toys for Kids www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B093V1B1ST/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_12T8D7HEKQ1JSS4DPJP9?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Both mine (9 & 14) loved their LED strip lights for their rooms.

This was really popular with my dc ages 6-9.

Dr Zigs giant bubbles are always a great crowd pleaser

Chewbacca bop it, it was about £8 on amazon, fun for all ages

As low tech as they come - 3d Pin Art!!

For my just turned 7yr old it was gravitrax - huge hit!

Really good

I got my 11yo a little inkless printer which she absolutely loves. It was about £40 with quite a few rolls of paper.

Hi can i ask where you got this please as its my dds birthday next week

Speed track has been a massive hit with our 4 year old. And Playmobil knights and space rocket sets have occupied him for a good few hours today (and me putting them all together)

Barbie doctor unicorn
Puzzles (4 year old is loving doing puzzles, needs someone to sit and play with her but it’s keeping her occupied for aaages!)

My 6 year old got a shimmer me body art set. Kids age 5-12, both boys and girls loved it! And all the adults also now have shimmery tattoos!

9 yr old DD - Little inventors book, Exploding Kittens.

6 yr old - Harry Potter lego

Both - Drone (saw it at Hamleys but got much cheaper on Black Friday)

Furry cushions for their rooms - they are carrying them around the house!

Thanks for all the great ideas. The 4 year old is a child who seemingly has everything, lucky boy, so he is HARD to buy for. The others - 7, 8, 12 have very little space and need to do regular culling of their toys and belongings. Consumables might be best.

Furry cushions though - popular with my DC as well.

Even our dog loves his octopus soft toy with sad/ happy face!

Hot water bottles, whoopee cushions and oodies here for boys aged 3, 6 & 12. The 3yo is also obsessed with a llama that shakes it's bum.

My dd (11) has loved a proper bead jewellery making set, Boba squishee and fake oodie. Also, fluffy socks, and a leather bound journal. Oh and a fountain calligraphy pen. My ds (7) a lego set and gel pens.

Whoopie cushions, they got all sorts of big presents and the thing they played with all day (till mum and dad got annoyed) was the whoopie cushions 😂

I’m the Nanna who bought the whoopie cushions - sorry / not sorry 😂

Throw throw burrito. Thought might be a bit young for my DD 12 but her and her older brother and cousins played it for ages.

All the nieces / nephews ( 5- 11 year olds ) got hexbugs nano flash orbit sets.
The 14 year old played with them all day too! Will get her one for her birthday!!
