BEST PRESENTS FOR SIX YEAR OLD BOYS

BUNCH OF BUTTS GAME

£14.99

Anything with the word ‘Butts’ in, is going to go down a storm with a six year old boy, right? So they’re going to love this one. Bunch of Butts is the cheeky, shouty out card game, and it’s apparently ‘butt loads of fun’! Find matching butts, shout them out and collect the cards, but watch out for the Silent Butt Deadly card. After you collect cards, flip them over so their letters ‘BUN’, ‘CH’, ‘OF’, ‘BU’, ‘TS’ are showing and the first person to collect one of each card to spell out ‘Bunch of Butts’ and shout it out is the winner! Sounds like great fun to me!

You can heat it up in the microwave in just 90 seconds and you’ll be amazed by the soothing warmth and comfort it will provide.

They’ll be able to snuggle up with the dragon and keep cosy and warm for up to 2 hours. It can also be used as a cold pack by simply putting it in the freezer.
