DDs school have a buddy system and her 'buddy' is a Y6 boy who's been just brilliant. I want to get him a present as he's going to big school in September and I'm so grateful for the support he's given her (she's a summer baby and has had a bit of trouble getting settled at school). I don't really know anything about him, am happy to spend maybe £10-£15 and don't know where to start. Would really appreciate any thoughts, thanks.

What a lovely storySmile

If it was DS, he would love an itunes voucher. Or a voucher for a sports store!

DD was very pleased to be given an Amazon voucher. There's more to pick from on there if you're not sure what he likes.

just asked my kids (y7 & y9)
they both said Amazon as it covers everything

Not really itunes Iwouldn't have said...my yr 6 doesn't listen to music yet...but Amazon definitely if you don't know him at all...!

BrigitBigKnickers · 14/07/2012 15:31

What about a play.com voucher?

TheFallenMadonna · 14/07/2012 15:33

DS wouldn't know what itunes was, but would love an amazon voucher.

Ahhh Smile.

Amazon voucher and if you ever get the chance, tell his parents. I would be so proud if that were my son!

My 11 year old son was given a big bar if his favourite chocolate by his reception buddy, he was really chuffed. So was I when his mum came up to me to tell me how he had helped her chd settle in and how lovely he was. I was a very proud mummy.
Lovely thought. Smile

Hex bugs are v popular like this.
DS had a YR person to 'buddy', was very proud of him, and would have been chuffed to bits to get a present!

Yr 6 boys are also obsessed with nerf guns, but you need to know where the parents stand!

We bought dd's Yr 6 buddy a mug which said "Best Buddy in the World" on it - bit naff but he was really chuffed. She also made him a card.

Agree with letting his parents know - maye a note in the card saying how much he helped?

plipplops · 17/07/2012 17:09

So she made him a card (with a picture of her marrying him on it - not sure what he'll have thought of that!!) I tried to get an amazon voucher today but they only had £50 ones so I got him a £10 cinema voucher instead. I did tell his mum but I've only seen her in the playground once, so I'm going to write him a card with the voucher in. Bless him he was on a residential trip last week (since I posted this) and bought her a little notebook as a giftBlush! It's so sweet...

Thanks for all your thought on this one, much appreciated x
