I've been invited to a friend's for Christmas, so need to get some presents for his kids tomorrow, ideally something loud that will annoy the parents. I don't know much about what kids like. There is a boy of 2/3 and a girl of 5/6. People that have kids, what sort of shit is popular amongst the little people these days?
Cheers.

Is poundland too naff?
I currently have 5 and 7 year old female infant units.
We usually get a few things from poundland that go in the bin afterwards. This is partly due to 4 of us living in a relatively small metal box. People with houses may have more space and require more advanced presents.
I hate presents.

I wanted to get them something a bit more lasting really.

So much depends on whether you want to be invited back next year. Let us know how good the friends are and whether you might wish to be invited back. I have a certain amount of experience........

Me and my sister used to do this. It became a competition who could buy the most annoying and loud gift.
For the girl something along the lines of shopkins, Barbie or my little pony won't go far wrong.
My kids at that age loved bath toys. Okay Mobil boats and bath crayons were good fun.

Not noisy but it's back in popularity from 30 years ago when ours were little. Or anything Disney. For the boy, no bloody idea we dont have any small males in our family (currently) |

If you want to play safe, ask the parents if their winkies are into anything you could add to. Lego, Thomas the tank...

Haven't seen one for years, don't know if you can still get them and don't even know what they are called, but how about some of those things which are like a horn/whistle which have a spiral loop of coloured patterned paper on top which straightens out when the horn/whistle is blown? They are really annoying. EDIT A quick search suggests that these are called "noisemakers" or "blowouts". If you are looking for something to annoy folk then I'd suggest you'll be hard pushed to find anything better. |

On a different note, I'm glad you have nice friends. You don't need to be alone this Xmas.
