Help!!!

It is my 7 year old Nephew's birthday on the 1st of July.
My OH and i have just been granted an IVA which will leave us with very little per month to spend on things like presents etc.

What is the cheapest most expensive looking present i can get him, bearing in mind his mum is a bit of a snob (my sister)

What kind of things does he like?

My six year old (tomboy) likes pokemon, batman, spiderman etc

Argos have some good toys in their sale - Dr Who, Transformers etc. A £20 12" Cyberman for £4.99 was about the best deal I could see for my 6 year old.

There are colouring chests/art sets in Wilkinsons for good prices too, if you'd rather give something less commercial.

Thanks i will have a look on the weekend!

I don't have children, so it makes it rather difficult LOL!

Do you shop at Tesco's? Could you take him out for the day courtesy of tesco clubcard vouchers? Then all you'd need would be a picnic and an ice cream ... and surely his Mum would give him some spending money???

I think a 7 year old would love a day out.

I hope I am not breaking rules with this recommendation, but my OH's cousins are really well off, unlike us. I always get their kids stuff from Hawkins Bazaar - it's unusual, old fashioned, reasonably priced and I have just said lots of rude words when I found out that they were on Quidco - if I had found out last year I would have made a fortune!

Also, I always try to get all extras, eg if I buy pens I also buy paper.
