I've just done ours with ds, he did one for a 4-7 yr old girl and I did one for a 12-15 year old girl. He is in reception so will take his to school with him tomorrow, I am a ta so will take mine to my school tomorrow too

In the one for the 4 yr old girl I put:

• a kiddies play camera (partybag)
• a pack of 4 felt-tips (free with a meal somewhere)
• a pack of 4 wax crayons (free with a meal somewhere)

• a make your own bracelet set (don't remember where from, has been in my pressie box for ages!)

Total = £2.59

In the 12 yr old girl one I put:

• Beige pashmina (free from Comfort Creme)

• a pedicure set (50p in tesco)
• an eeyore notebook (30p in sale)

Total = £3.06
Do they sound okay as I haven't done one before???

These sound very good BUT not wanting to be picky can I just say that the t-shirt and pashmina will be taken out once it gets to the warehouse where the boxes are checked. This is because they have a very strict rule this year that these items are not allowed.

Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE everyone do not forget about toothpaste/toothbrush. Please remember these are classed as essentials. Thank you
