I always buy nephews separate presents but wondering this year if I could join the money together and buy one big present. I have no idea what to buy them though.

Boys are 5, 7 and 10 and limit is £150.

I wouldn’t. I’d do individual presents.

Ball rebounder, Badminton set, basketball hoop, cinema passes, gaming accessories, hot chocolate maker, day out at a theme park with you, table football,

I wouldn't, what ever you get will end up being in one child's room and by default that child's.

An outing would be different as you could take all three but not a physical present.

Would their parents want that? 10 is very very different to 5 in terms of interests.
Just ask their parents what they would like. And don't feel you have to spend so much (ie £50 each) because what a child often really really wants is a couple of packs of football cards and a Hot Wheels car.

We have done similar with similar ages. We bought a pop up tent and sleeping bags one year - so they could "camp" in the lounge overnight (add marshmallows!)... also bought football goals and other garden equipment eg giant jenga. Sometimes we buy a joint present eg a bigger board game and then smaller presents each.

A day out?

A football stadium tour

Tickets to a theatre show (the Lion King if it's still on tour or the local panto).

Or maybe a family cinema pass

Tickets to a sporting event?

Otherwise I'm not really sure what you could buy them as the age gaps are a little too apart (especially between the youngest and oldest), a swingball set for the garden maybe.

Do they have a trampoline? Good get a decent size one for that price.

A football goal if they have space for it

Scaletrix set.

Three remote controlled cars.

One of the big Playmobil sets, if you think the 10 year old would play with it eg castle, fort.

Ice cream maker.

I did this for my three little nephews last year and bought them a movie projector so they can have home movie nights. I think that was around £140/£150.

I made up a little hamper of cinema treats to go with it so they had something 'instant' to open.

The boys were 8, 3 & 1 so my sister was like what the hell can they share? 😆 But she loves it and they've used it loads, in the garden, rainy days and this year she'll use it on Xmas eve.
