Best baby/child item you have bought for under £10?

We all must buy all sorts of stuff for our children/babies and later on think what a load of rubbish that was.

What's the best thing you've bought your child/baby for under £10?

My son is 6 months but by far the best thing I've bought is a £9.99 bouncer from Asda on an offer. At first he hated it but since about a month old he has absolutely loved it. Keeps him calm, lets him look around, quite frankly I don't what we would have done without it. :j

    Anywayup cups. We stil have a couple knocking about, despite a house move, as robust tumblers.

    Lids long lost, but at least we've weaned the eldest off finishing a drink & "putting the cup away" in the swingbin....

    Fold up changing mat that came free with one of those supermarket nappy offers. Put nappies and wipes inside and didn't need a changing bag.

    I bought mine, but easily the thing I used most.

    Loved the fact it came with a reuseable wipes case.

    Velcro belt thing (dont know trade name). Turns any dining chair into a highchair and keeps kids strapped into supermarket trolleys. So small it fits in your handbag, so you can take it anywhere.
