Does he like Star Wars? We got my son a green light saber for Xmas and then a red one for his birthday - the Hasbro ones are only a tenner from memory - we also got him a jedi costume at xmas which has gone down really well.


we were also given (by a kind forumite) - the most fantastic millenium falcon bag which doubles up as a lego-carrier (with little straps for minifigures) - my son loves it. Some kind of lego storage might keep them both happy?!

Power rangers? My 5 year old is into anything super hero related - dressing up, figures, bat mobiles etc. also generally any kind of vehicle. He also likes little non fiction books on knights and castles....and also is currently into making rainbow loom bands like all the girls!


Oh - if he likes building things they do some sort of junior meccano which my eldest likes.


Or books? We're just getting into more 'big boy' paperbacks rather than always reading picture books - a nice thing to enjoy with them.

Anything to do with superheroes, dinosaurs or pirates. If he's just starting reading then there as some early readers avengers/dc superheroes books. Or a superhero dressing up costume.

Or some hot wheels loop the loop track plus some cars?


If he likes drawing, then we borrowed an amazing "how to draw dinosaurs" book form the library which was excellent for our 5 year old, but I've never found another one quite as good: all either too difficult or not quite as clear to follow.

Play Mobil always popular

My son got a butterfly garden set for his 6th birthday which he loved, you get a voucher to send of for the caterpillars which you then keep until they're butterflies before letting them go. My son was fascinated.

Gross science kits are cool

Super hero fancy dress costumes

Why don't you just ask him? He might hate dinosaurs. If he's not sure then you could take him to Hamleys or other toy shop as a treat and let him choose something there. He will be more likely to play with it then.

A stomp rocket. Always been a hit for anyone that we've bought one for. Or even just a Toys R Us voucher. My 4 and 6 year olds were ecstatic to be given a voucher and be able to wander round a toy shop and choose something they wanted. Playmobil always good too for that age group.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
