    wilko have some great £1 christmas craft sets at the moment. Apart from that, christmas colouring/sticker books, felt tips, wind up santas, pooing reindeer, puzzles, christmas window tumblers things, a simple magic trick/practical joke, basically anything from the stocking filler section of Hawkins bazaar

    In the 99p store they have sea fossils, you have to dig a two small plastic sea creatures (makes a bit of a mess, we it on a tray!!). They also had dinosaur ones.
    My dd bought one with her tooth fairy money and it kept her & friends with ages ranging from 4 to 9 occupied for ages. Best toy i have found for so cheap! :)
