I need the following!

An ipod dock (prefer dock but speakers a compromise)-Absolutely no more then £25

Some really nice bath smellies (Posher then Body shop but cheaper then Molton brown!) Need to get 2 peoples presents for £30-would like a couple of bits each (seemingly the undoable!)

Rose scented shower stuff (but lovely smelling not crappy :o) £10

Kids cooking set (including a mixing bowl and apron...) for £10 tops...really tops

This is just for starters btw :o

I am so fed up of googling!

I will love you always....really and truly! :o

Try TK Maxx for the smellies. Or Lush and hamperise them yourself.

Amazon reviews are the thing to tell you which cheap iPod docks are decent and good value and which are a pile of poo (you can then source them elsewhere if you do choose).

Just go on the newest bargain thread - 'it's almost December....' the codes are in the OP and are in alphabetical order by store. It's not hard.

Just type kids baking set into amazon and you'll get same list I linked to.

Just popped on your thread before I head for bed. Wanted to let you know, if you didn't already, that you can 'click and collect' at Wilkos through their website. So even if stock isn't great instore, you could get something through their site and collect it local to you. Although they didn't have a mixing bowl and apron, they did 2 childrens cooking/baking sets (one was Winnie the Pooh, £6) the other one was £5. Then couldn't you get a smallish plastic bowl and childrens apron from a pound shop??

Just some ideas. If I find anything else tomorrow, I'll come back and post.

Good luck!

Kids baking sets are at tkmaxx at the mo. Mini mamo ones. IME, kids love coloured silicone spatula, which cost a couple of quid from supermarkets, put a couple of those in a coloured bowl with some pretty bun cases and you've got a winner!

Ipod rock, we got one frpm Lidl.
Smellies; Crabtree & Evelyn.
Rose scented; M & S ?
baking things; make up a set from the collections at big supermarkets, or at shopping village/factory discount shop. You might find a nice china mixing bowl commemorating royal wedding on offer now. (Hobby Craft had some good ones).

With the 2 x £6 savings on your budget from the Champneys gift set (saving £12 from the budget), would offset the increased budget requirement additional £10) to get the better £35 ipod dock with remote Grin

I'm assuming its £15 per present. Get thee to boots. You could get 2 nice £20 sets for £40 plus a rose set up to that value free. Could look later tonight for you.

Poundland type shops often have silicone baking stuff in so a bowl, cupcake tray (silicone or normal with nice cases), spatula, few nice sprinkles from supermarket & maybe a cupcake making kit in a glass jar (see good food website for ideas). If no B&M or home bargain type shops, maybe asda or larger tescos will have stuff.

Smellies - boots have this range which looks nice & on 3 for 2
