Cheap, but valuable to them, childrens gifts?

How about a personalised story book? I got each of my children one for christmas. They have dozens of themes; princess, star wars, paw patrol, disney etc. You fill in the form giving name, age, town lived, that sort of thing, and they send out a lovely book, personalised to the child. I got the paperback ones for about £10. Lots of companies do them, have a google for any deals atm. Oh, and my son in particular still reads his every day, he loves it so much.

For a little girl, a piece of jewellery that she can wear when older.


I bought one of my granddaughters, when a baby, a very pretty humming bird on a silver chain.

That's just lovely.

Books always go down well here but people do have to check with me what they already have so if you want it to be a complete surprise to everybody, books only work for a family who don't already have loads!

We appreciate additions to things the girls already have like Lego sets. They always love new bits to build or new mini-figures and there are plenty of different ranges to suit everybody. Even if you get characters they later grow out of, the pieces are always useful. As a parent, I appreciate additions to existing collections as they fit in our existing boxes! Younger kids might have Duplo instead, although the Lego Juniors sets have been okay here from around 4 years old. We liked the Duplo Read and Build sets - Amazon seems to think they're around £14 but I don't think I ever paid more than a tenner for them. Other families might have Mega Blocks, Playmobil, wooden train sets etc but I bet most families have something you can add to. If not, you can start a collection and buy more each birthday.

I got my son (5) a paw patrol one for Christmas and it is still his bed time story of choice, the magic is never lost on him that he and his sister feature in an actual proper book
