Xmas present ideas for a 5 year old boy

a new car

get the 5 year old a puzzle or something and give the box to the 2 year old

Monopoly Junior

Ben 10 based something or other

Awful cartoon but young lads love it

W H Smith doing a scaled down Talble Tennis top , 2 bats , ball + Net ALL for £15 in a box ..
The TT table fits on your dining table ..it is only 40 " long ...but will teach him the game and hours of endless fun , if you don't trod on the ping pong ball :-)

They are also doing a similar deal (£15) on a scaled down pool table , but not seen that one myself ...

A crossbow for the oldest one and an apple for the youngest one.

Me and my brother had those when we played William Tell

If he'd have kept still he'd be 56 now.

i'll sell you my chipped ps1 with 300 games

Metal detector for the 5 year old & bury loads of metal coins etc in your lawn (not deep mind, unless you get an expensive one). Wrapping paper for the 2 1/2 year old beats any presents.

I got an empty box when i was 5, or as my dad called it, an action man deserter
