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?

A board game called Outfoxed for DD (4.5). We played with a 10 year old friend who also liked it.

@parrotonmyshoulder I doubt the parents thanked me but I once got a similar set of nephews/nieces glow in the dark UV face paint and a blue light torch- they ran off into another room with the light off and went wild for ages (just off Amazon)

This game (tiny skeleton hands) has been the toy of the holidays for our whole family. It was a gift for our 11 year old.

Low tech, easy to learn and great for all generations

Gravitrax and throw throw burrito are popular with my almost 10yo. Even 15yo DS has got stuck in with the Gravitrax

Nerf laser guns have been hugely popular here with both our 6 & 9 year olds. Fart putty was another bit hit!

Kids aged 6, 8 and 11 loved these officialflyingorb.co.uk/products/flying-orb

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

We got this too, they've been playing with it every day.

Pogo stick, birdhouse building kit and bouncing putty were massive hits for 6yo

Goldbar · 27/12/2021 22:42

Jellybaff or kids' bath bombs are popular consumables here. Also the Dr Oetker Spectacular Science baking kits.

Funny bunnies and The Floor is Lava have been loved by our 4yo.

Depending on budget, what about the Kiddizoom camera? Doesn't take up much space.

Other hit present was more tonies for Toniebox.

My 11 year old got an atm style money box you feed notes into - she loves it and the relative who gave it her got it for 11 pounds from
Amazon

NynaeveSedai · 27/12/2021 22:50

V tech camera for 7 year old niece with 3 rolls of paper - it's essentially like receipt paper so not expensive and she's loved snapping everyone all day and printing out the pictures. It's barely left her hands and the house is covered in little black and white photos!

For both my 9yr old and 12yr old boys were stretchy gorillas from home bargains, they cost a fiver each and they love them, only bought them as a filler

@Rainbowshit

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.
We’ve been playing this for days. It’s chaos but so much fun!
Pinkandpink · 27/12/2021 22:56

Ihaveaskedyouthrice · 27/12/2021 22:59

PosyBoo · 27/12/2021 23:21

A shoe box size box I filled with different bath bits for my DD8 and DN14! Bath bombs, rainbow bubble bar and shower jelly from lush, a magic flannel, bubble bath, bath sprudels and bath crayons for DD/shower cap for DN. Honestly, they were both surprisingly delighted!
