Xmas presies

[JCrakers]

I'm struggling with presents this year...lol


Earlier in the year I bought some snowman boxes from yellow moon but have discovered they are far too big and would have to spend a small fortune filling them up. I have 16 kids to buy for so want to stick to a budget of £3-£4 each.

I've done the little ones but have 9 school boys aged between 5-9yrs. I've spent £1 on a large tube of smarties each but have £2-£3 left.
Any ideas before I run out of time...eek

can you go to poundland (or similar) and get them all a pair of gloves?

might have marbles or something you could put in as well?

[scottishlass]

yeah poundland a good idea!

They might have a book you could get for each or colouring book and pens? In our local one they sometimes have scetch books and the nice drawing pencils too or kids cups etc
