5 kids' Birthday gifts for under £5
1. Fidget and Sensory Toys
Fidget toys are small, handheld objects that are designed to keep little hands occupied minds focused. They make excellent birthday gifts because they aren’t just funky and fun - coming in all sorts of weird and wonderful shapes - but they're also really useful for parents as a way to help kids concentrate and deal with anxiety. Plus, with our amazing selection of fidget and sensory toys, you don't have to spend a fortune on them - our prices start from just £1!
2. Kids' Jigsaws
Do you know what’s better than just giving a kid a great birthday gift? Giving a kid a great birthday gift that will also give their parents a few hours of downtime. That’s the brilliance of jigsaws. They’re playful, stimulating and do all the good stuff of helping to develop creativity and cognitive skills. But even better, they’ll keep little ones occupied for a while so the grown-ups can relax. Alternatively, they're a great gift that parents and children can do together!
Most of our kids jigsaw puzzles are available from £3 to £10, and with plenty of options to suit whatever they’re into.
3. Blindbag Toys
Bring an air of mystery to the birthday party by getting a Blindbag as a gift. Blindbags are small toys that are packaged in boxes (or bags) that you can’t see through - so you don't know what you're getting. They’ve become increasingly popular in the last few years as a nice, fun and affordable way of collecting toys from your favourite series. This minion blind bag figure has twelve to collect, making it a gift you can keep on giving at a low cost.
Most blind bags are usually priced below £5, with the odd one costing more. You can browse our full range of blind bag toys online.
4. Crystal Art
Crystal art sets are a brilliant gift for any creative children. They allow kids to explore their creativity in a mess-free way and are a great help when it comes to refining those fine motor skills. The other benefit to buying a crystal art set as an affordable kid's birthday gift is that they usually come in around the £5 mark, which may leave you with some change in your pocket.

They come in all shapes and sizes, from colourful rubber balls and mini puzzles to role play sets and games. We've got plenty of toys to put a big smile on any kid's face. Prices start from just £1, so you could do a mix and match and stock up on presents for the birthday parties ahead.
