Christmas present ideas for U8s?

Christmas present ideas for U8s?

I wanted to get my under 8s squad something little each for Christmas. I was just going to go for the usual selection box but wanted something a bit more personal. I'm on a budget of around £20-£30. If you've got any ideas that'd be great.

We had the same issue this year, so myself and the other coach have decided to give them a selection box and a medal. We get the medals from a local trophy shop cost £11 for 11 medals engraved with Merry Christmas 2014 on the back
