12 x presents for Santa's pocket (almost all under 10 euros!)
Welcome, welcome, dear Saint. Nice to have you back (because now we have a plausible 'threatening' tool for our kids who don't want to eat/sleep/listen ("yes, what would Santa say about that?!") There's a good chance that, also this year , December will look a bit different again... Not with the whole (extended) family huddled together, no Christmas markets everywhere and no dancing sessions in the pub. Bummer. What is possible is celebrating Saint Nicholas' birthday with your own offspring. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. Sinterklaas... A big party for some and for others... Well, an even bigger party. What starts with putting on shoes and ends in Christmas Eve.
At I Love Toys (they also deliver so quickly!) We found the sweet stick-on tattoos from Meri Meri. Extra advantage: they come in pairs and if you cut them loose and pack them separately, you get twice the price for the, er, price of one. In any case, they have a great time at I Love Toys (why make it difficult when it can be easy). easy easy hand out grab bag gifts for different ages.
The photo below comes via Jetjes & Jobjes: really a top site for everyone who has something to celebrate with the little things! Slightly less large selection and slightly less lightning-fast delivery BUT everything nice / always price.
Tip: Gift in, gift out for someone for whom Saint Nicholas and Christmas are not automatically a celebration of presents (there are plenty of organizations that can help with this).

Woezel & Pip is and always remains a good idea! And this book is so cozyand only costs 5 euros). A summary: Sinterklaas is in the country, Woezel and Pip can put their shoe on! What would it be? A scooter or a racing car? Pip dreams of a ride on Sint's horse. Woezel and Pip wake up in the middle of the night. There's a knock at the loft! Who oh who could that be?
And the far-sighted parent is already shopping for one Woezel & Pip Christmas booklet bee…
Can we give the offspring something to snack on after all that scrambling? Or better yet, stop a van nutripops van NaturNes Bio in it. Grab fun and a healthy snack. First decorate the pops and then use the container for colored pencils or crayons. Win win.
Oh, what a set. An overly sweet wooden set of sushi – nigiri, Californian roll, a bottle of soy sauce with containers. Even the wasabi is not missing. The set even costs just under twenty euros, but if you pack the sushi separately, you get a very good price per sushi. The offspring can easily grab a whole meal together.

Fishing for sea animals, who hasn't dreamed of it? And as simple as anything. Just go, fishing all the sea creatures from one side to the other. Your child will also receive some lessons in motor skills. We can only say: Hema, really HEMA.
Oh and while we're talking about wood: Picture or it didn't happen, we like to say. And therefore also fun for the little ones. And completely hipster proof. PlanToys via Small and Tough
If economic insight is lacking, we are happy to nurture another talent. Namely the culinary. And of course a cooking hat should not be missing. Idea: a rolling pin will follow a few days later? Via Dill & Chamomile
Typical case of do-we-like-this-or-do-the-kids too? Doesn't matter much anyway. Handy for storing all your grab bag gifts - you can never have too many wicker baskets. Oh, and they have many other nice things made of wood, such as an abacus for example. Everything through Dill & Chamomile
Jeeps, convertibles, old Beetles… The four-wheelers from Kinsmart have of course been around for a while, but they have been completely rediscovered by our favorite store Big&Belg. You can buy the hippie bus or the pink classic car here. And between you and us, it secretly makes us happy too.

Toys with a touch of nostalgia, because: wood. The wooden animals from Holztiger make a great grab bag present. The range of prices varies from €4,95 for a chicken to €15 for a slightly larger horse. So for the small and the large grab bag.

Oh how genius this is. Not under ten euros at all (of course), and probably too big for the grab bag, but we couldn't resist. And of course, you can also get inspired and recreate this rug yourself (perfect for putting on the grab bag). Anyway, we probably want him more than those kids of ours: it's all about the great tablecloth. A tablecloth for kids? Is that a thing? Yep, it's a thing. After all, the MoontasticStudio tablecloth is one that, when placed over the table, suddenly forms a playhouse. Including 'door' and 'windows'. Building huts has never been easier, inside and out. Genius, did we say that already? We need it and all because Caroline tipped him off... So we're happy to pass on that same bit of enthusiasm. Don't mention it.
