I appear to have ended up with 6 Secret Santa presents to buy for a tenner each Hmm

Any ideas for:
A female teacher in her 50s
A young woman in her early twenties (who's just moved into her own house if that helps)
A 18 year old boy, likes gaming, has his own souped up car and quite enjoys going to the gym
A bloke in his mid-twenties who has everything money can buy
A recently retired woman who seems to have no hobbies!
A 60 year old man who loves reading, the countryside and boats

I hate Secret Santa. I'm useless at it.

For the ladies, you can't beat Boots 3 for 2 offers for smellies or nice kitchen gifts. If you buy them all together you can either save yourself 10 pound or choose 3 gifts for $15 but only spend $30 which makes you look generous.

For the 18 year old, you could buy a winter car kit with de-icer and things in or some leather driving gloves.

For the 60 year old, a nice water canteen or book on local country walks.

For the person who has everything, a nice gadget like a corkscrew from habitat or a puzzle from hawkins bazzar.

Work, circle of Uni friends, my extended family (2), DH's extended family (2)

2 for family because DH and I obviously count as 2 people. Children get individual gifts.

I can deal with 1 or 2 but 6 has knocked my brain for, well, 6!

Boots or m&s 3 for 2 definitely sound good. And if you can hit them on one of their Xmas shopping evenings you'll get even more off or points back - the boots ones (my local boots one is next week, look online for dates) are giving £12 in points back for every £50 spent. And it can be on anything in boots not just presents so I just usually make it up with nappies, cough mixture, the usual stuff you get from boots to make it up to the nearest £50 and save on everyday things too.
