Gift from Santa

My 3 year old's playschool is having a Santa visit but parents have to provide the gift, maximum value £5. I am really struggling to think of something for him. So what would your 3 year old boy want from a Santa visit that costs no more than £5?

This sounds like a recipe for utter disaster.

£5 to one person is a book at full Whsmiths RRP. and £5 to someone else is a big £20 toy they got reduced in the sale.

Everyone should get the same in things like this usually bubble wands, a stationary set, a book etc... (might be different books but all 'equally' on par with each other like for example everyone gets a different Mr man book etc...)

@mam0918 unfortunately I don't work at the playschool so it's not up to me to decide if this is a bad idea or not, all I can do is follow the instructions for my own child

My son would be thrilled with a Hot Wheels monster truck. They're usually £5.50 in Asda and Amazon x

I'll bet money on parents not sticking to the £5 limit...

Would have been better for nursery to buy 30 X £5 toys and charged the parents the £5!

DS at that age would have loved playdoh, one of those toy baskets with food in or a dinosaur.
