Hi
Can I please have some suggestions...I need to buy around 30 gifts...they are thank you gifts for people I have worked with. My budget is around £7 per person...I know you can't do much with £7 but I just really want to show my appreciation as everyone has been so kind and helped me in what ever way they can.
Any suggestions would be appreciated :-)

What didn't you understand, MrsOverTheRoad...?

I'd take a wild guess and say 'the comment she directly quoted' Hmm Which for the record I also thought was barmy.

Go to Costco. Get each group a huge catering-sized cake and a couple of bottles of fizz. That will honestly be plenty to show your appreciation.

What about just doing Thank You cards?

Thank you COUGHLAUGHFART and all the others who gave me some lovely suggestions xx

I can't believe how some ppl are so afraid of kind gestures??! No wonder the world is in a right state at the moment.
I really don't care if ppl think my gesture is over the top, silly or what ever...it says more about them than me.

M&S sell amaryllis bulbs in pots so you can grow your own and they are about £5.

Do ignore the people who are trying to rain on your idea. I think it's great.

Do you really need to buy individual gifts? if so, I'd buy smellies, I woudn't buy £7 worth of sugar per person.

MirandaWest "I thought you were going to say you had £7 in total for 30 people" Me too!

Whatever you get can you make it charity or fair trade?

How about some different pens/pencils/stationary?

£5 costa/Starbucks gift card and a £2 scratch card?

Book tokens or coffee gift cards is a fab idea too! Thank you!
