So DH's side of the family does Secret Santa. Basically the names of all the adults are put in a hat and drawn out and that is who we buy for. Great idea to reduce the cost of Christmas, but since each person will only receive one gift, there is a lot of pressure to make it a good 'un! This year I got my SIL and am at a complete loss. Can you offer any suggestions?

She is mid-30s, outdoorsy, but girlie, and stylish.

The spending limit is £50.

Thanks :)

Hurray! Decision made.

I always keep all my receipts for present purchases, just in case.

I am now going t look back at all the suggestions again to try to find something for my sister and mum!

Hope you find something good for each. This thread has been full of great suggestions. I have never finished my shopping so early. Not quite sure what to do now! Think I'll start with a Brew
