Santa's sack ideas needed

Simone1408

I am helping with a Christmas Fayre at the beginning of December and I need to source little presents for the kids who are going to see Santa in this grotto.

Any ideas on what I should source, and where from?

We will be charging £4 per child, though we are trying to raise money for a children's charity, so are looking to spend about £2 on the pressie.

Would be grateful for some ideas...

Poundland is your friend! I noticed the following DVDs in there yesterday:
Help! I'm a Fish
Dogtanian
Various animated fairy tales

PC Games:
Pirates of the Carribean
Mr Men / Little Miss
Tweenies Time to Play
Retro Gamer

Toys:
Barbie/Sindy type toy in box with outfit (fairy)
ipod style radio boxed with batteries & earphones
Fluffy pens/glitter glue pens/craft sets/colouring pens & pencils
Farm animals
Tractor
Aeroplanes
Electronic toys - tetris, sudoku, car racing, tamagotchi type
Colouring books

Sweets:
5 x Kinder Happy Hippo
3 pots of candy floss
Large bag of popcorn/chocolate covered honeycomb nuggets/jelly babies
Big bag of lollipops (you could split these down - put 2 lollies and a tangerine in each bag lol)

Other bits:
Kids bubble bath
Bath toys
30pc assorted hair set (bobbles, fluffy clips etc)

I'd say choose 1 edible item and put it with another item - these would easily look worth the £4 and please a lot of little ones

Kitty Kate where is the poundland in Leeds, is it in the St Johns centre? Leeds is our local shopping area so this sounds like a shop to visit.

We normally just charge £1.50 for or Santa and the kids get a small selection box - 4 for £3 in Poundland. It is packed out and good value.
