What to buy a 2 year old and a ten year old for xmas?

[hercules]

any ideas?

Boys or girls??

10 year old is a boy.

How much did you want to spend?

2 year old is a girl who already has countless books and jigsaws!

20-25 on the girl and 40-50 on the boy. We are already giving dd de's old easel.

Little pram, dolly high chair, push along trike?

M and S have Mini Dinoraptors and Robosapiens for about £50. Or an MP3?

My 10 year old boy is having

Big box of magnetix
scooter
rock tumbler
etch-a-sketch
wallace and grommit alarm clock
lamp for bedroom
books
personal organiser
make your own greenhouse
a game for the pc

hth

Whats a rock tumbler? Have been considering the magnetix stuff,looks good. Where is the make your own greenhouse from?

I havent looked in M& s yet but will do.

She has a pram already.

My 8 year old is getting a Star Wars duvet and curtain set; an acoustic guitar and some lessons; a goldfish and tank with filter etc. I'm sure other demands with be forthcoming (but not necessarily met)

Getting my 2 year old a duvet and duvet cover for when he moves into his new bed after christmas - plus stocking presents that are toys.

For the boy do they sell day out things for kids?? Maybe a day at an adventure centre?

Where are you getting the guitar from? What's suitable for a ten year old?

WHSmiths has some of the Science Museum Range I noticed today. Lots of fab fun things perfect for the older one.

With 2 year olds (have one and am aunty to two ATM!) I find that an etch a sketch always goes down well.

few other ideas:
stilts/ pogo stick
juggling paraphernalia
Planetarium from Letterbox
music player of some sort ie MP3/iPOD/CD player
or DVD player

Girl - Dressing up type stuff - M and s, Woolies, Asda etc all have great ones. Role play toys like doctor's kit or play kitchen.

Boy - Science stuff, computer games, strategic board game like Risk or Monopoly, perhaps in an alternative version(like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars), Bionicles, remote control/electric Lego or K'nex

My 9 year old ds is getting a remote control dalek (I bought, but dh has pooh-poohed idea) and some lego technic.

Ds2 (8) is getting lego, and a gameboy and games and he really wants a crystal growing set but they are all for 10 plus or 12 plus - nevertheless, we have found a little crystal growing set which I think is 10 plus and we are going to give him that anyway.(BTW, ds2 has more than ds1 because it is also his birthday)
