Gift competition - help!

6 replies

Pigletpoglet · 07/12/2020 10:30

Every year we have a silly gift competition with my sister and BIL to avoid the pointless exchange of stuff we don't want/need. Last year my gifts were voted the winners, due to the amazing ideas of MN-ers - please can you help me to continue the winning streak?

The rules are simple:
Approx £5 spend, definitely no more than £10
Has to be useful/functional in some way - extra points if it would fit into one of those amazing catalogues of 'useful' stuff that come randomly through the door

The ideal is something that you didn't know existed, never mind knew you needed, but really you did!

Any ideas, oh wise MN shopping gurus?

Cheap things I didn't know I needed but now wouldn't be without:

  • fridge magnet whiteboard meal planner
  • toast tongs
  • gloves where I can still use my phone without taking them off
  • iphone stand
  • circle selfie light for zoom calls
  • AirPod Pros (ok those are out of budget but they are so amazing I now panic slightly when I can't find them!!)

Spiral ear wax removal kit - a little over £5, but may be cheaper elsewhere. Grim though...
