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?

By AnneOfAvonlea on Tue 02-Dec-08 21:11:09

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?

By AnneOfAvonlea on Tue 02-Dec-08 21:16:23

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?

By ToysAreLikeDogs on Tue 02-Dec-08 21:25:51

this is a lovely thing £22.50 for all that style

Toysarelikedogs - it is gorgeous. I nearly bought it for him last year actually but ran out of budget. Lol.

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".
