Please help me - I need to buy gifts for my cousin's dd(4) and ds (7) that my brother can take out to South Africa for me! Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hand-held electronic games would be popular with 7yo boy but best to check if parents approve.

Playmobil, books, Lego

My ds (6.5) loves his tamagotchi and top trumps at the moment.

Big hits for dd (4) recently have been polly pocket, cutest pets and sylvanian families stuff.

Sorry TooTicky, not familiar with that! Is it modelling stuff, like playdough or something?

It looks like colourful wotsits but is squashy and you can fix them together with just water and make models.
