For presents its worth looking atthe clearance section on the argos site they still have some fab toys for boys although you may have trouble finding a store near you that has it in stock but its worth a try!
For a party how about a pizza party he's probably old enough to make pizzas with some friends then perhaps create ice cream sundaes with lots of sauces/ sweets i think it could be done quite cheaply.
When my brains working better i'll think of some more ideas and let you know! I'm sure others on here will have loads of other ideas too! x x

Musical bumps, pass the parcel,best dancer, best fancy dress.
This is what we did for Lydia's 4th birthday and i had loads and loads of comments on how good it was.
Cake wise, i made a basic sponge then there is a lady on e-bay who can do icing to put on the cake with your childs name etc for about £5 this is what i had done for my nephew and he was so chuffed

Go to your local poundland/shop and get as much as you can from there.
Alternitivly,ask him to choose 3 friends and take them all out for the day to somewhere like swimming/the zoo/park and mcdonalds
They're great ideas i love the idea of stickingto tradition and having good old games!!
Talking of e-bay the crystals that I ordered for the wedding invites arrived today, but I had to go and collect them from Post Office HQ as the seller hadn't paid postage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had already paid her £2 P+P and she would have only had to pay 40p but I have had to pay an extra £1 handling fee!!!!!
Gillan says you need to contact the seller simply stating what happened and ask her to refund that amount. Apparently they've changed the rules now and you have to contact the seller then ebay if you get no joy before leaving negative feedback,just to warn you. It could be that it was a genuine mistake.

Thank you

Just wanted to say that the Easter Theme is a good idea. The eggs are so cheap in the supermarkets you could give those out instead of party bags..much better and im sure it would work out cheaper.
