Santa needs some help

[tiddles]

hi there, ok I think santa is beginning to run out of ideas for what to put in a 11yr old boy's stocking? where could he visit locally for some good bits and pieces? younger ones are easy as there is lego and all the other little collectibles they like, but what is going to interest an older boy at budget prices??

thanks in advcance

I find museum gift shops can be a good source of interesting prezzies - could try Horniman gift shop, or online there's design museum, natural history museum, Tate modern - most museum websites have online shops. Science museum maybe? Also, Rye Books on Upland Road has a small but inventive selection of gifts and books.

Sainsbury's have a lot of little lego goodies. Lego keyrings with a torch [including a Darth Vader one], a lego sandwich box [i don't know how big your stocking is], a lego luggage tag that my friend's son has on his PE bag....

Sainsburys also do the Science Museum range.

Poundland (or 99p store, I can't remember) do a range of lego-like and meccano-like kits. Also, they have loads of christmas craft kits, which have gone down well in my house (3-8 year olds) in the past.

Just discovered this shop - something for everyone and most of it is less than ?10 (in fact plenty for less than ?5). Lewisham Centre is nearest for south Londoners.
