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?

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.
