Just that really, main pressie for our two this year is going to be a tablet. A quick look round reveals these two options. Zoostorm SL8 Prestigio HD Never heard of either of those two companies, has anyone got one? No real fixed requirements other than that they must have wi-fi and a headphone socket. Their main usage will be angry birds and watching crap on You-Tube so they don't need to be all singing and dancing and I'm not going to spend over £100. Should I be concerned about which 'droid version they come with and is there anything that would be a useful feature to have or a reliable brand? It would a bonus if they came with a cover that had a choice of colours so we could get one pink one and one in some non girly type colour but that isn't really a deal breaker.

When I looked earlier the Hudls (in suitable colours) were sold out. With regards to the Google app store, I'm curious as to why any Android tablet wouldn't be able to access the app store. Is there any reason why that could be?
Edited to add (in suitable colours)

I bought my kids (2yrs and 4yrs) a Nexus 7 V1 about 6 months ago. They love it. It's a quick little tablet and never missed a beat. There are some good deals on them now the never version has been released Nexus 7

That would be more my sort of budget but they already have one of those. This is going to be sort of compromise between the etch-a-sketch that they already have and the iPad that that they would want but won't get.

That looks like a reasonable deal to me. I'm sure there will be better, newer ones available, but at that price that looks pretty good for a decent brand. They don't do 3G, but that hasn't been an issue for us (not getting them a contract!) As I say, our mob are all still loving theirs.

There's a Tab 3 out which is probably why they're cheap. Definitely won't be getting a contract for them so 3G isn't an issue. It's more important that it has WiFi than anything else and a card slot probably isn't essential either. The Samsung looks favourite so far unless I increase the budget to £110 which pulls in a few of your other suggestions.

Another vote for Galaxy Tab 2 7" although the one we have has been on the verge of being returned twuce..if your darling child ignores the low battery warning and lets it die, it can be a devil of a job kicking it back into life again, I've spent what feels like hours playing with the power cable and various button presses to get it out of a constant no charge...shall I charge?...no! loop but apart from that it's OK

Just realised that Galaxy Tab 2 is a refurbed one which is why it's so cheap. New they come in comparab le to the rest. Galaxy Tab 2 The free case (as well as the spec) is swinging things in favour of the Hisense at the moment.
