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?

[Chicchicchicchiclana]

Cuts flowers or plants, indoor or outdoor, for me.

[WouldBeGood]

And I hate cut flowers or chocolate or smelly candies or bubble bath

[LulaLuna]

Aromatherapy oils

[kowari]

I wouldn't want cut flowers, candles, wine, or anything for the bath as I never have one!

[kowari]

A souschef voucher would be wonderful as I could buy fancy ingredients like black garlic that I could never otherwise justify buying for myself.

[multivac]

The Sanctuary hand sanitiser spray. Indulgent and a way of making a vaguely unpleasant necessity a little, well, nicer..

[WouldBeGood]

@kowaria sous chef voucher is a top idea!

[Inthetropics]

OP here! I just wanted to know what people would like to receive themselves. Surely there'd never be a gift that would please everybody but it's nice to read the diferent answers as it helps to come up with ideas.

[XiCi]

For a tenner I would like a book/cookbook or book token, bottle of malbec or bordeaux, bottle of cremant, rose or violet creams, 85% dark chocolate, soaps, molton brown bauble, nice notebook, succulent plant, a poinsettia, loose leaf tea

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Neals Yard do nice hand sanitiser sprays too.

[IceCreamAndCandyfloss]

I am very happy with a tub/box of chocolates to watch a movie or box set with. Cosy socks and nice bubble bath I like as small gifts.

Not keen on candles as flames and pets don’t mix and don’t drink so people know not to buy alcohol.

[OutrageousFlavourLikeFreesias]

I'd like a book that's a favourite of the person giving it to me. And a bar of chocolate to eat while I read it.

[Holothane]

Socks chocolate that’s me happy toiletries.

[lavenderlove]

Chocolates
Nice biscuits
Wine
Plant
Lush bath bomb/soap
Fluffy socks
Those mini different flavoured gin etc
Nice mug

[Bbq1]

Book/Book voucher
Candles

[babygroups]

I'd prefer we arranged a get together than bought each other token gifts tbh.
If you really want to get something though then maybe; a nice bath bomb, chocolates, hand cream?

[babygroups]

Nice bar of soap would be good too

[Katgolde]

Socks, flowers, nice tea/coffee, biscuits.

Not 'smellies', booze or candles.

[RainingBatsAndFrogs]

A small panetonne

[noideaatallreally]

Something locally made? We have a company here that uses local slate to make lovely Christmas tree decorations.

[Jeremyironseverything]

Not smellies.

[noideaatallreally]

Or if you know them really well I love Qwerty tshirts - they have lots of niche ones for gamers, dnd, sci fi fans etc.

[EatPrayYoga]

Filofax has a good sale on for the stationary lovers but I think it ends today.

[mam0918]

To me a token gift is like a 'secret santa' type gift and under £5... if its more than this (like some people saying £12 or £15 items) then its clearly just a standard gift imo.

I dont really know what I would want in the token gift area, the cheapest thing I can think I want/need right now would be an eyeliner (the twist/push up kind not the wood pencil kind which hurts my eyes, preferably waterproof too if possible)

[BikeRunSki]

I have often given mugs with initials on (and hot choc powder and marshmallows etc depending on budget), which has gone down well.
