Well it seems that party season is well & truly upon us judging by the amount of customers coming in for party bag fillers...not to mention what seems like hundreds of invites my children have had recently.

It got me thinking about how much parents must spend on presents for our little socialite's friends. So I've put together a list of recommendations from our fine array of toys that should help ease the pain as all suggestions are under £7!
1yr old:
  • a firm favourite is the set of maracas. These come in an array of colours and are the perfect present for the first boy or girl!  £4.50 for a pair
2yr old:


  • let's get prehistoric with these great wooden dinosaurs- there's even a pink one for the girls!

 



  • let them measure how big they are getting with these lovely height charts. available in pirate and princess designs. Matching accessories also available.

3yr olds:
  • get their imagination going with this lovely wooden cooked breakfast set. At only £5.50, you can throw in a couple of play juice cartons as well.
  • have a budding gardener on your hands? Set them up with a set of gardening tools (£5.50) or a fantastic bug box (£4.99)- just make sure someone else is on duty to empty it out!   
4 yr olds:


  • get prepared for school with these funky insulated lunch boxes (£4.49). Made from recycled bottles, this one scores marks for being kind to the environment as well as your pocket! 



  •  The sock monster has been in the cupboard! Who can find in this chaos the matching pairs of socks? Quickly and simultaneously the children rummage in the heap of socks. Darn, the socks look so alike! Who will find the most matching pairs? A monstrously quick searching game for 2-6 players (£5.49)
