Anyone got some good suggestions for inexpensive stocking fillers for a 5 year old boy? My son loves Lego, rock music, superheroes, Star Wars. His Christmas list is very short and influenced by adverts he sees on TV for crappy plastic stuff. I'm worried I'm going to get to just before Christmas and realise I haven't got him much. No such problems with my 8 year old daughter!

I go for a lot of toilet humour with my two (4 and 6) - in previous years there have been whoopee cushions and fake poos. A couple of friends have secured "Fart whistles" from Amazon which I'm now thinking I should look into!


I've also gone for a little wind up torch from Just Williams, and a pencil case to keep all his bits in. Tiger/ Hema really good for stocking stuff.


There are loads of party bag supplies on Amazon which double up as good stocking fillers - and Yellow Moon do tonnes of nice superhero things, I had some for my son's 4th birthday party which was superhero themed. Things like superhero rubber ducks for the bath etc.

Thanks. Whoopee cushion is a good call. I think he bought a fart whistle once with his pocket money but it was disappointing! I was also thinking a trip to Hema in Victoria would be a good idea, so will do that too.

I just bought my nearly 5 yr old boy a Make Your Own Bouncy Balls kit from

Early learning/Mothercare for ?2.50. Other stocking fillers include a ruler with his name on, a thing called a Foamee which I'd never heard of but I'm sure all the kids have seen in TV ads, basically like a pot of bubbles but blows out a line of foam and a couple of individual Hot Wheels cars....

    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.  
    • I do know the care home julia tant was moved to
    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered,
