Any suggestions for none tat but not boring (socks, gloves etc all sorted). I’ve got plenty for girls but struggling to avoid impulse buying.

Joke book, slinky spring to “walk down the stairs”, cake/cookie mix kit (if they like cooking), Top Trumps cards, travel games, whoopee cushion, magic tricks, (I think Marvin’s Magic do individual ones).

I’m trying to reduce the amount of ‘stuff’ in the house, so DS’s stocking is mostly edible. I did a big order from one of the American candy websites for cereal, unusual sweets and a couple of bottles of drinks that you can’t buy in UK supermarkets. He also has some Pokemon cards and a new keyring for his school bag.

Yes I have lots of consumables but his sister has a few other bits and bobs. Thinking I might change things up this year rather than buying more for the sake of it.
