Please help me choose some presents for my nieces/nephews

[FeelingLucky]

Need inspiration for the following, would prefer not to spend more than £10 on each:

5 year old French nephew who is into Ben10
8 year old French niece who is into all things girly
They both have every toy conceivable and I don;t want to spend loads (£5-10)

2 year old French niece
Newborn nephew/niece (due any day now). We'll be sending an outfit and cuddly toy when he/she is born

5 year old nephew who has lots of energy, likes cars and consequently has every car possible. is also a telly addict so have bought him craft sets from ELC before, which he just discards. Was thinking books but no idea what a child this age would like. Don;t think he can read yet.

14 month old nephew who has lots of energy and has inherited lots of toys from his brother. Was thinking books, but wondered if that wasn;t a bit dull.

6 month old niece

Thanks in advance for any inspiration.

for the older ones, how about a box of cheap bits and bobs related to things they like. I'm doing one for dd and for my friends dd. My dd has loads in her's but for my friends dd I normally soend around £5. Her box has a sparkly mirror(£1.50) Hannah montanan things from the £1 shop(stickers, chocolates) and i'll buy a couple more bits. Then i'm wrapping them seperately but then putting in a bigger box with some lamenta(strips of tinsel, or they are to me anyway!) and some sparkly sprinkle thing-a-mes and voila! All bought from the £1 pretty much but a bit more interesting, I hope, than a £5 present IYSWIM

This could work for 3 out of the children you mention?

I'm also buying my nieces/nephews a magazine subscription but i'm using Tesco clubcard vouchers so it doesn't cost too much. You could always stick a magazine in the box idea i've mentioned? actually, I may do that in mine!

oh, that's a good idea.
where are you getting the sparkly mirror from?

Used Amazon as easy to search by age but elc etc have similar items.

5 year old nephew - ben 10 board game from Amazon

8 year old niece - junior perfume, bath bombs, pretty necklace

2 year old niece - first jigsaw/puzzles, cotton reels or lacing cards, first doll, tea set

Newborn nephew, amazon have a lovely winnie the pooh wash mit for 99p - could put with a bath toy or board book

5 year old car mad nephew - horrible science crazy car kit

14 month nephew - first puzzles, mr potato head, Fireboat Felix bath toy

6 month niece - bath toy, board book, fisher price link a doos, stacking cups.

sorry about the terrible spelling in my last post

the mirror came from a local shop. I've basically just gone to all the little shops and seen what I can get which dd(and friends dd) would love, pretty much anything pink/sparkly/girly! a fair few things have come from £1 shops. I've quite enjoyed searching about for things dd's box is going to have loads in it, and i'm pretty sure it'll be her favourite present! am also hoping it'll take her a while to open
