Funny story....won't help you, but thought I'd share anyway.

My ex mother in law is a primary school teacher and had to do exactly the same as you, buy stocking fillers for same aged children, so off she popped to Manchester centre. After several hours of wandering round without success she ended up in China town and had a look in a shop there which had little rubber chimps for sale. As they'd recently done a class project on monkeys, she thought it'd be a good idea to buy these chimps which were wrapped in cellophane.

It wasn't till the day after these chimps were given to the children( and parents were storming the school in outrage) that she realised that perhaps they weren't the best of ideas..........


If you squeezed their stomachs............out popped a penis on each and every one of them!!!!

Thank you! Great site! Haha Boo! Gives 'monkeynuts' a whole new meaning! I'll have to share that story with the staff as a warning to stick to pencils or something for safety's sake! :)

Not sure if these would be any good, but how about a personalised magnet, this seller will insert any picture you like and has done them for groups using a class photo, she will even put the childs name on each magnet as well if you wish.

How old are they? Is that infant/junor school?

Party balloons and blowers are cheap to pad them out. Wilkinsons do loads of cheap lil mini games, packs of cards, toys, little balls and such.

Pound shops can be good as well.

Have you thought of the cost of getting a bottle of helium and giving them all a helium battoon.

Argos do some party toy packs

Yes Wilkinsons, Blitz, �1 shop, Pound Stretcher, Book Works, Woolworths.

Toys r us - do a 'party range' with lots of little gifts cheap check there first.

Thank you all - brilliant suggestions. I've gone for the quite boring 'Merry Christmas from your teacher' pencils from Superstickers in the end but will definitely keep the information you've all posted for other staff and for future years. Thank you! x

ebay is excellent lots of 'shops' on there that do party bag gifts in bulk - only �2 for 12 torches etc, keyrings, balls loads of stuff.
