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

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.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
