I go to Wilkinsons or 99p Stores/Poundland. I usually get some colouring books and pens/crayons/pencils etc. A bit boring really.:blush:

I like the book people online for items or quality save/home bargains normally do some good craft things.

Cheap, but good quality books.
Instore and Home bargains often have books for £1-£2 which are perfect.

someone put a thread up about personalised PJ's for £5 and pencil cases for under £4. Studio cards I think.
I'm doing that this year. Other than that try argos/yellow moon.

Depends on the age of the child.
Someone put a thread on about the Works - they had some lovely books and DVD sets for between £1.99 and £2.99 - that's what mine are getting for Christmas :)
