Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have 4 children to buy from this year which is unusual as I am a bah humbug and its a real challenge as I am a bit out of step with what little people like nowadays x1 Boy 4 x 2 girls 3 x 1 boy 18 months I know both girls are huge fans of Peppa Pig and the oldest boy Ben 10 ( who ever he may be ) but I was actually hoping to find something slightly more unusual that still had a bit of meaning to it but not so boring the children would rather play with the box Its a pretty tall order I know but one my fellow fugees can help me with I am sure Sam " I am not really a shopping elf sort of gal" Green P.s my budget per child is approx. £25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizzie Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hi Sam I am also out of touch with the things young children like & I have a nephew & niece to buy for (aged 5 & 2). My brother sent me a list - Ben 10 & Peppa Pig are obviously in as there was a Peppa pig towel & Ben10 bedding set, plus temporary tattoos. There was also microwavable monkey & a personalised Thomas the Tank Book Last year I sent a "Buid a Bear" gift card for the older child which was well received Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thanks Liz , whats a microwavable monkey ? is that legal have had a look at Boots.com for the branded stuff and its fab , all the toy are 3 for 2 and its 3 % to Dogstar via easyfundraising plus money back on my Boots card If I buy that way the cashback to Dogstar can count as the "meaning" I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billydog Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I did a home visit where the kids had an aquamat/aquadraw thing which is a big mat (suprise!) and a pen which is filled with water and then draws on the mat - parents thought it was brilliant for kids! Sorry not explained it well, but I'm sure early learning will have them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailsas mum Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I'd thought about buying the Aquadraw for my grandbrats but there were so many bargains about it was hard to pick. Tesco also have some toys at half price, what I did before I bought any toys in the sales was to google them or look them up on Amazon just to make sure they were being sold at a higher price elsewhere, not that I think for a moment shops would inflate the price of stuff just so we would think we were getting a good bargain.
