Stocking filler ideas for 5 year old boy

[sanity girl]

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!

Some really great mini science type kits in Maplin (OKR), well worth a look. I was very surprised.

Thanks - my daughter wants a science kit so will check those out!

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.

Try M&S online. Organise their gifts by price. Lots of stocking fillers and decent quality.

A superhero magazine or colouring book? Stickers?

You may find a few stocking fillers in Just William. Hawkins Bazaar site is good 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....
