Budget?

Remote control vehicles are good fun - DS2 recently acquired one of those scale models of a Porsche, normally they are ornamental but this one whizzes about and has lights etc. (£25 mind you.)

Thanks everyone!
Fantastic suggestions.... I'll pass them on.

One of those giant water guns I think, toothy - popular but maybe not ideal in October!

Huge water gun. Appreciated by boys between 5 and about 40 IME. Oh, and my dd1. And me.
