    I'm with elona: a drum, a kazoo and some screaming balloons.

    And a whoopee cushion is always a tasteful gift.

    Last year somebody mentioned a big box full of balloons. Kids love boxes and balloons and the rest of the money could be put in their trust fund.

    Please be extremely careful when giving balloons, my friends son died because of an innocent balloon.

    Ideas - Books, you can never have too many books for children. Puzzles & jigsaws.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Or how about Elefun. It's reduced to £9.95 in The Entertainer at the moment. My 2 year old loves this game.
