We’re almost at the end of this years gift guides, so it’s time to look at gorgeous, great value buys to fill stockings or to gift to the increasing list of children we all have to gift each year. Lu has already featured the under £1 gift guide and here are our favourites for £1-£5 with a mix of wooden, musical, paper, book, activity, game, and just pure fun delights. All of the stores featured have other cool buys for around the same price too, so go forth and shop! Oh and there’s also a £5-£10 guide.
