What can I buy 4 year old niece and 3 year old nephew

I have my niece (4) and nephew (3) coming to stay over the holidays :D, usually I send them clothes which their parents are always delighted with, however this year I would like to buy them each a gift they can play with during their visit, as I have not bought toys as gifts for so long I have not got a clue what are the latest toys for this age group.

Has anyone got any ideas please?

  • Hi, at the moment they have Zhu Zhu pets in home bargins/ quality save for £3.99 each, they are perfect for this age group and retail at £10 each elsewhere!!

    I had a halloween party for kids this age group and had Zhu pets as the prizes, and if you wanted to spend a little more, they also have the cars/tanks/flower carts that drive along with them for about £4 each too!

    If you haven't seen a Zhu pet before they are hamsters that run on little wheels around the floor they bump into the furniture and turn around etc, they also make cute little noises (not too loud) and are something that the kids can play with together!
    back to comping after a 2 year break!! Mission… to win a gift for all my family for Christmas!
  • Great idea Iggy 1313 - many thanks for this, they will be amused for hours with these and have lots of fun, will also buy some of the accessories between them.
  • Go on admit it, you want to have a play with these yourself eh? they are really sweet! I would have loved them when I was little!

    Happy playing!!!

    Your so right - I am actually going to buy a few extra so we can all have one, I have a feeling we are in for a fun time with the children and the Zhu Zhu pets. :)
