school kids birthday prezzies ?

mimi

my daughter is forever bringing home party invitations she even has 2 parties on the same day next week! i was just wondering if anyone had any good ideas of what to buy as spending about £15-£20 on each kid is getting rather expensive! i dont want to get anything that looks too cheap as it seems to be who can buy the best present when i go to kids parties these days. not that i agree with that. i always try to get as much as i can for them with the money like buying toys that are half price etc. the parties are for girls 5th birthdays.

Answer
Yes, this is an expensive stage.

I'm in Australia and things may be different here but I think you're being very generous. I'd only spend $20 - $25 on a gift, the $25 being for a good friend. Not exactly sure what that equates to these days but less than 20 pounds.

For girls, I go for some stuff from the Bodyshop - a pot of strawberry lipgloss, some bubble bath and one of those fruity soaps, all nicely wrapped or in a cute bag or whatever. Hairclips or other hair accessories would be good additions.

Boys are harder.

are toys imported from other countries checked?

and who watches over the safety aspects of toy manufacture in australia?

Answer
Some toys are checked, but generally they aren't. All those toys that had lead wheren't checked, so alot of little kids got lead poisoning. But now they are checking them more often..
