Every year my friend and I have a £20 budget and have to buy a gift to fit each of a number of ‘categories’! The gifts are just novelty things as each gift only costs a few pounds.

This year I am struggling!
The categories are:

  1. something to while away an evening
  2. something to treasure
  3. something to make you pretty
  4. something to make you smile
  5. something to aspire to
  6. something to create with

Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks

Blimey that's a lot of gifts to buy with £20. Can't you agree to edit the list down and get fewer but nicer things? Otherwise you are stuck with charity shops or Poundland tat.

  1. A mirror. Because she already is pretty. 😁

WHY?!

If you must:

  1. A book
  2. A bookmark
  3. Another book because intelligence is the best looking thing of all
  4. Another bookmark with a funny message or picture
  5. Another book
  6. a notebook

If you got the books second hand it's about do-able

Ooh thank you! A mirror is a great call! And I can definitely do a book for one of the others! Thanks

1, 2, 4 and 6 = Scrapbook and a nice pen. Put in some fond photos/memories of you together - plenty of blank pages to fill with creativity!

Add in a few pictures/notes of things you want to do together would tick 5 too. Then maybe a nice lip balm or something.

2- Chocolate coins (its not Christmas without them!)

  1. Crossword book/Sudoku book
  2. A photo in a small frame
  3. Lip gloss/Blusher (Poundshop do branded items for £1, L'Oréal/Rimmel etc)
  4. A joke book
  5. A charity adoption pack (The aspiration being to do more for charity in the year ahead)
  6. Colour your own mug (It's basically a mug with a pattern that you colour in, I have seen them online for about £5)
