Where to buy cracker presents/small novelties?

I used to buy these from Hawkins Bazaar, generally below about £3 each, maybe up to a fiver for something a bit better or vaguely useful rather than just daft, but I've just discovered the shop doesn't exist any more! It's now part of Menkind and stocking fillers start at £7 (can't see anything smaller/cheaper).

Any suggestions where to look now? I'm sure these things are on ebay but I'd need to know what exactly I wanted rather than getting a selection to choose from.

Thanks.

Flying Tiger?

Waterstones has a range of little toys, trinkets and puzzles etc, might be worth a look there

John Lewis (toy section and sometimes a stand of stocking fillers near the tills in children's clothing). Sostrene Greene, Wilson, pound shops, garden centres. Stationery, toiletries and American sweet section in supermarkets.

Sainsburys, oddly enough!.

www.rexlondon.com/ I buy a lot for stockings from Rex London, som ethings are quite cheap. Not much use for now, but they do a good sale in Jan, I bought most of my stocking fillers then and saved a lot of money, may help for next year.
