What can I get DH for £10?

DH and I have stupidly decided on a £10 spending limit on presents for each other this year.

Money is fairly tight but we also plan to go away for a night in the spring and will count that as a present to each other.

Any ideas?

Toblerone + nice socks?

Try the I Want One of Those website - you can search by price and recipient

Does he have an iphone? Get him some of these. I just got myself some from M&S as it drove me mad last winter having to take my glove off all the time.

Grin @ angryfeet

No, he doesn't have an iphone!

I forgot about iwantoneofthose. I have used them before, thanks.

Some things I'm making for DP:

pajama bottoms (2m of £5 cotton)
Hot water bottle cover (£2.79 bottle plus left over wool but could use cheepy wool)
Furoshiki (I have the fabric but could use cheapy fabric)
Scarf (left over wool as above)

Some things I may buy:
Second hand book he likes, ie scour for penguin classics of his faves (50p-£4 ish)
Second hand/antique decanter - (about £10)

We have tenner Christmas for everyone. I got a canvas print for 7.99 that was reduced by a lot! Or you can get a calendar of photos on vistaprint for not much.

MerryCosIWonaGold · 03/10/2012 17:25

Meant to say I got the canvas print with wowcher. I think they're still available. You can put any pic you want on it.

www.firebox.com is another good gadgety type website.

Thanks for the inspiration everyone!

Found these on iwantoneofthose but cheaper on Amazon, so I'll probably get some of those.

Also like the idea of making things. Pickled eggs anyone? yuck

We do this every year. I always like to give a few presents rather than just 1. I often get a bottle of beer/real ale/ local cider depending on what he likes at the time, some chocolate, pjs etc. It's amazing how far £10 can go. I really like the idea of making some pj trousers, think I will try that! I usually put a scratch card in aswell! :)

Oh and last year I found a brand new m&s shirt which was gorgeous labels still on for £2.99 in a charity shop! That was the top present that year and he wears it all the time!

Join photo box or similar and wait for them to send you email offers. ? Photo diary, mug, calendar, photo book of best memories of last year etc.

TK MAXX had Calvin Klein men's socks last year for 8.99.
