Sorry to hear that you're in this situation. Is he likely to receive any presents from friends and family?
Please consider contacting some of the charities mentioned in that link. I know it's a hard thing to do, but it might make your son really happy to have a couple of presents to unwrap at Christmas.
You are very wise not to get a loan - it would only make your situation worse in the long run.

get yourself on freecycle or there is freebay on facebook. Met a girl yesterday in same position and she had got her kids things that someone else was throwing away. TV's scalextix and peppa pig stuff as well as a bag of clothes. Places like poundland have some lovely books and toys in.
Local salvation army also does a toy donation so please contact them and see if your child can recieve a gift and maybe a food parcel.

Good ideas from Queenebay. Your son is young enough not to mind second hand items (providing they are in decent nick, obv) - he probably wouldn't even notice.

Just bumping this to see if anyone else has any suggestions...
