Pound presents

[Juanbablo]

We have a tradition on my mum's side of the family where we buy presents for the adults that are supposed to only cost £1. It's a pretty difficult challenge unless you buy chocolate every time. I wondered if anyone had any different ideas? I need to buy for 3 women aged between 53-83 and 2 men ages 55 and 58. I've bought book marks, little puzzles and candles before.

The various pound shops are full of possible presents!!!

I would look at Wilko. They have nice notebooks, pen pots, little jars of paperclips etc and nice mugs all for £1.

Also a shop called Hema, they have nice notebooks. If any children involved they have mini pots of modelling clay sets for just £1.

Card factory and the works have some good 2017 diarys for £1 too.

I like this game.

Another thing to do is look at Jewelery sale rails in high st shops, they often reduce items to £1.

I saw some cute little slippers in b&m yesterday but they were £1.49 so slightly over budget!

[Leatherboundanddown]

Primark have scented candles and water bottles for £1 and poundland have battery powered fairy lights in, I got some like little lightbulbs and they are very good.

I wish my family did this.

You never know what the pound shops will yield - I was quite tempted to pick up a remaindered copy of Tony Blairs biography as a joke present for DH the other year. And if nothing else you can always get the chocolate and some cheap giftwrap there.

Poundland also have some pretty scarves in and their book and DVD shelf is always worth a little look too

[MollyHuaCha]

Def go to Poundland. Or you might be lucky and get something in a charity shop, but prob not as round here the prices in charity shops are sky high.

Asda and Sainsburys home ranges are quite good so you may get nice mugs/kitchen bits in there.

Are Boots doing that deal on the Soap and Glory make-up set soon? I think the big one this year is the one in the case in mid Dec (according to MSE)

[SymphonyofShadows]

Oops, sorry. Wrong thread

[Juanbablo]

Thank you everyone, some good ideas here.

Scratch card! I give them out with our dinner every year with the terms that if anyone wins over £50 it's shared.

Have a look in chemists some chemists sell body wash and shampoos for £1 or something like a lovely bath scrub

[amysmummy12345]

We do this too!!! We each have a £5 budget ru get five pressies! I've had some good stuff from home bargains, retro games etc...

[MackerelOfFact]

Superdrug are selling these gift sets for £1 at the moment, they're full sized products that they usually sell for £3-4 each. I went into two stores today and both had loads. I'm going to try and go back tomorrow and get a few more to donate to the women's refuge.

Poundworld have some christmas wine glasses and nice mugs and the range have a pack of 8 wine charms.

Book from pound shop? Ours had hardback copies of the sealed letter by Laura Donahue who wrote room this week- got it as a stocking filler for my mum

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

Think I meant poundworld - the green and yellow one!

[GruffaloPants]

Get yourself to a Home Bargains. You should have plenty choice for £1. Off the top of my head there are Marvel Heroes socks for 79p. Ceramic gnomes plant waterers for £1.

[Chrisinthemorning]

Agree home bargains. They had juggling balls and wooden puzzle sets for £1 that looked nice.
