1 Great Gift for 4 Great Kids?

My friend has too many kids, 5 of them (my godson is an infant). I have not bought for these kids before but I don't want them feeling left out by just buying for the baby. The kids are 11, 8, 6, and 3. The 6 year old is the only girl. I thought of a movie and popcorn giftbox, but I don't think they have a tv anymore (don't judge- it's good that thats the first thing to go). I thought of putting some sweets in little gift bags for each. I don't know maybe a board game that they could all have fun with together? Bop it??? Help me brainstorm people please!

Ps. Totally irrelevant but I'm also buying my 3 y/o niece and 1 y/o nephew a combo gift. A large ball thing they can both play with at the same time, then a book for each. I'm a good gift giver, and this means a lot to me. Thanks :)

    The interests of an 11 year old boy and a 6 year old girl are so very different! Finding a single gift that's appropriate for all 4 of them would be nearly impossible. Someone is sure to be left out. However... if the city you live in has an indoor playground, buying tickets for that would be fun for everyone since those places are typically designed for infants and kids up to age 12.

    You could try giving everyone a similar, but age appropriate gift. The younger kids would like colouring books and crayons where as the older kids might like word puzzles and new markers. Lego is very versatile and there's many options. Friends set for girls, Duplo for toddlers, and all the other classic lego sets for boys. There's a lot of expensive lego out there, but there are small sets for around $20.

    When in doubt, gifts of food are always a win though. Personalized M&Ms are popular, and you can even get a dispenser too.

    Get the 3 year old a stuffed animal and maybe the 6 year old.

    Get the Harry Potter books for the 11 and 8 year old.

    Board games

    Lego sets

    The gifts for the 3 and 1 year old sounds perfect

    If they don't have a TV anymore, and you can afford a little extra, how about a portable DVD player? THis way they can at least watch the videos they have. You can get that with a popcorn gift box. You can find them pretty cheap and they work just as well as the expensive ones.

    How about a gift certificate for the movies or for ice cream somewhere?
