Bog in a Bag
Sanitation is no laughing matter, but this cement for a loo base come with a dose to toilet humour. This age range may seem a but young for charity presents, but ours actually loved knowing about a present given to someone else (once we’d cleared up we couldn't actually visit the goat that had been bought).
£10
Rocket top
Lindex is a failsafe store for bright colours and great prints at reasonable prices. This organic cotton tee is covered in rockets, stars and planets!
£12.99

Getting post is a forgotten joy. This is a gift that will keep on giving for months. The Phoenix is packed with episodic stories, interviews with characters from history, puzzles and drawing tips.

Night sky projector
The night sky is magical. This clever kit will help you bone up on your constellations so you don’t get caught out with too many questions you can’t answer about it. (Voice of experience? Yes, of course.)
£15
My Naughty Little Sister
Ever noticed how all the naughty children in books are boys? Not so in life of course. Boys and girls can identify with the cheeky goings on in this book. (Buy an old copy, the covers for the new editions have taken a misstep.)
£2
Sprinkles purse
This is a sweet update of a classic. All kids love coin purses. We’ve no idea why Meri Meri suggest in their product descriptions that theirs are only for girls. Ignore them, this is great for any child.
£12

If your kids love reading out the cracker jokes, let the fun last all year with the best joke book we know.
