Honest note: we design and print our cards, badges and party decorations in the UK. The Eevee set is a recommendation from elsewhere.

The main present
- For the birthday child: LEGO Pokémon Eevee. The LEGO Pokémon Eevee is a buildable, poseable model of the fan-favourite fox-like Pokémon. It's a proper project rather than a five-minute snap-together, and once finished it's a display piece for the bedroom shelf - so it outlasts a pack of cards by years.
- Check the age guidance on the box before buying - it contains small parts.
