What would you like to receive as a token gift?

[Inthetropics]

I have a few friends i'd like to gift something small and cheap this Xmas. What are some token gifts you'd like to receive and would actually use?

Scented candle
Bottle of wine
Hand cream

Nice chocolates (the florentine idea is nice)
Candle (as long as you’re happy picking a scent for someone)
Wine
Cook book
Scarf
Posh soap

I’d be happy with any of these.

Nice bubble bath or bath soak. Not bath bombs as some are weird.
Miniature perfume.
Chocolate.
Posh tea.

Its really difficult as I would like say a bottle of badedas but not a bottle of wine ( I don't drink). I've love nice tea but I hate coffee. I love dark chocolate but not milk or white. I like candles but burning them gives me a headache. Book or cafe vouchers sound good but then its not really a token gift but just a gift gift.

Candles / chocolate / wine / posh pasta / posh oil / dog shampoo 😂

I steer clear of wine, personally. Cheap wine is never nice. It also just seems really thoughtless and recycled, too impersonal for me.

Token gifts I would like to receive:

1. Nice chocolate (just a small box of luxury chocolate where the cost is minimal, like a small box of good quality truffles, maybe with a handwritten message on the side or a small photo of you both in the box)
2. A personalised picture of our friendship drawn by an artist (might be more expensive than what you are thinking though) - a very small hand drawn card to make me laugh - or a quote that means something special to us that I can either frame or keep somewhere to look back on in the future, a drawing of a TV show we like or a character we find funny. If it were a card I would include a message of how much the friendship means to me
3. 100% natural handmade soap
4. A book - either something that brings back a memory, or a book of funny quotes/jokes, etc
5. A personalised mug - not with a name on but with something on that is personal again to us - maybe from a favourite movie, or a show we used to like as children

A glass bauble.

A book

If any of them have pets, a hand drawn pic of their pet that they can frame or put on their desk at work? Might be able to find a local artist that will do a few small ones for a decent price.

Lindt chocolate or a nice pair of socks. Not smellies nor a candle.

Candle or a notebook or chocolate

A book token would be my favourite.

Cheap, fun earrings made out of fimo type.

I'd hate the local artist idea & would be mortified to receive such a gift & feel I had to display it when I really wouldn't want to. Art is very personal

Cosy socks
A macaroon from a posh bakery
Oliver Bonas hand cream

Candle, shower gel, hand cream, chocolates, biscuits, nice tea

Something standard, but the posh version, like instead of your usual shower gel, a £10 one, I always love a candle, nice chocolates, but yes, the pish version of something they'd usually use! xx

Something consumable. Use it, enjoy it and then it doesn't take up space in my (small) home.

Proper bar soap (TK Maxx do lovely ones)
Fluffy socks
Yarn/knitting patterns
Travel mug

That sort of thing would be my ideal. I can't eat chocolate so that is out for me.

Special iced biscuits always a winner here.

A plant!

Hand cream, nice lip balm, chocolates, wine

Socks. I bloody love socks.

A house plant?
Food?
Costa voucher?

I'd like you to give me diamond earrings (nothing fancy, 1\2 carat each is fine).

I would take them as a token of your high esteem.

Otherwise wine or something edible (hopefully something I like).
