Children's Bonds

Hi,
Both my children receive a Bonus Bond from their grandparents every Christmas, and whilst some issues don't pay a great rate, I think its a fab idea for a present for a child that can't be accessed immediately - which is probably sound financial training given the current climate.
I'd like to do something similar for my Godchildren - and whilst I don't want to appear mean, I can't really afford the minimum £25 as per the Bonus Bond. Are there any other similar savings bonds/schemes that have a lower minimum that I could use?
Thanks, FF

I'm guessing from the lack of response that there aren't any such bonds available - well, not for my budget anyway! Shame."A simple life freely chosen is a source of strength. Do not be pursuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford." Quaker Faith & Practice 1.02.410
