Token Gift

I am looking for some ideas for a token gift for ladies. I have bought or made various things in the past and while I could repeat on these, the gifts are for the same people. The gifts need to be around the £5 mark. Each person buys 6 of the same gifts to give the others.
I had thought perhaps this year we were not going to do it but we are.

Instant scratch cards?
A nice hand sanitizer?
A candle?
A nice shower gel?

Bath bomb or bath oil
Nail polish
Reusable make up pads
Chocolate and mini bottle of wine
Face mask

Go to somewhere like home bargains or savers. You could make up a pamper pack for a fiver. They have face/hair/eye/foot masks for a £1.

Wax food wrappers.
Wine.
Hand warmer.

Don't buy several cheap things.

6 books
6 lovely tree decorations
6 locally produced jars of honey/tiny boxes of chocolate/something else of that ilk depending on what's in your area
6 peace lilies (virtually indestructible)
6 bunches of flowers from a local florist
6 bars of the best quality chocolate you can find
6 bottles of wine

Would far rather have any of the above than cheap candles/face masks etc

Poinsettia plants (unless they have pets)

The Sanctuary have a hand cream and nail file set in a little cracker for £3 at Superdrug.

Aldi candle - the Pomegranate No 3 is lovely.

A succulent plant - can buy multipack and split up.

I got gifted a mini handcream from Body Shop lady year and I was very pleased with it. Think they were £3 each.

The Christmas decoration is a good idea and something I havent done before

I did this with a group of friends one year and one person bought hand made stained/fused (not sure exactly) glass tree decorations for everyone. I still have mine and treasure it. That's what I'd do.

I found some of these Art Unlimited chocolate bars in a little independent shop yesterday.
The packaging is so beautiful, they’d make a lovely gift.

I bought the Pickering gin baubles (set of 6 for £15.99) then split them up for gifts. For my secret Santa (£5) I added a tisserand relaxation roller ball aromatherapy scent thing for wrist/pulse pints (set of 3 £8) and some wee chocolates. Wrapped it all up on fancy cellophane stuff and it looked lovely. Recipient was delighted! I am using the other gin baubles and aromatherapy scent things for other presents too and dds stocking.
