I have bought him a main present but would like to get a couple of small presents £5-10 too. I cant think of anything interesting....

Does he like books? A paperback about something he likes might be an idea.

What are his interests?

Have you tried here
firebox

They have a discount code
that gets you £5 off anything - covers the postage at least!

When we were in the UK I bought DH a Kylie calendar every year. he put it up in his office and apparently the 1st of each month was eagerly anticipated by all....

DH likes boxes where he can put little stuff, like keys, etc. Maybe something like that?

Thanks.

He loves books but we have sooooooo many.

I havent seen firebox before so will take a look.

Calendar is a nice idea but there isnt anyone he's really into.

Little boxes are my idea of heaven but DH thinks I invest too much time on 'storage' as it is grin

Can you stretch budget to mid twenties?

I can stretch the budget to £25 but that is max.

What about a mag subscription? You can get some great deals and it really is the gift that keeps on giving!

CDs?

Foodie stuff - eg dp is getting some Dorset cereals minis, a big jar of Garners pickled onions, some oatcakes and cheese etc, all in a box and cellophaned.

DVD and popcorn/beer/wine?

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
