My secret Santa gift receiver is a man which immediately makes it hard for me.

We are supposed to spend about £10 and buy four small gifts any ideas

He is in his 50s and spends all his time doing sport

60 second hand fix is fab and these story cubes are great for kids & adults too.

Chimchar, I work in an English dept (am also a 30-something BFing teacher, two small kids, lost some weight; shit, you're not my secret santa are you?!) and I know from my cheating colleagues that there will be a lot of stationery gifts being given (we like nice pens Xmas Smile). Also I found some really pretty glass bird tree decs on Not On the High Street for about a fiver but they wouldn't have been delivered on time for my SS.

I had a £10 limit and bought some luggage cubes from Amazon for my younger colleague who loves going on holiday and as soon as she's been is planning the next one. She uses Ryanair a lot so organising packing efficiently is important to her. I think it will be well received - at least I hope so.

Goldenjubilee - it is easy to link. Paste your link into your message and then put at the start and at the end. That it it. If you want to name the link with a word such as lovely top then all you do is leave a space between the last letter of your link and the ]] at the end.

Chimchar, the fruits of your Paperchase raid would've been awesome but I don't think we were a match because mine was today and I got a very suitable book!
