It's coming up to DD'd friends birthday season and i'd like to come up with nice, different gifts but £5 doesn't get you very far!!!

Anyone have any suggestions of places to look online? Thank you!

my dd is 2.10 and she loves sitting threading beads on to shoe laces she doesnt ever put them in her mouth or anything scary just fascinated by it for some reason

DD just turned 3 and almost all of her friends recieved crazy chefs from us as its DD favourite. Although is £7

By far and away, DD's favourite gift was some childrens binoculars. here She has the eurohike ones but the national geographic ones are £5. She uses them most days and takes them to bed with her

Handbags with a pack of sweets in them? (My DD 2.6 loves handbags!)

Cheap DVDs or Books plus a jigsaw puzzle or top?

Board games (the non brand ones you can usually buy for £5 - try toys R us)

Barbie Doll equivalent and outfit.

My friends DD was given a lovely mask for her birthday.
Sort of a carnival type eye mask, with feathers and sequins.
I thought it was a fab idea as a gift, and a nice alternative to HSM/Hannah Montana dress up things.

A spacehopper? ELC do good ones and you can usually find a discount code somewhere.

Would I be 'out there' by suggesting a plant of some sort?

I bought a Venus Fly-Trap from B&Q for my nephew and he LOVES it, he likes catching flies and spiders and other bugs to feed his new 'monster' and he loves having something to look after....

Thank you! Space hopper could be very good for the 2 boys.....
Also like the idea of a plant....
