What would you buy with only £5

[WithRosesAroundTheDoor]

Ok, this is a tricky one and I would love any ideas please. .
We are doing a family secret Santa with a £30 limit.
I have drawn my aunt and have already spent £25 but am at loss for the other £5.
Please hit me with your ideas.
She is 60.
Doesn't drink alcohol or eat sweets, chutneys, jams.etc
No particular hobbies
Doesn't use scented toiletries

DVDs usually go down well but I can't think of anything. I've previously bought 'all things great and small', 'sybll', 'band of gold' and a couple of other old dramas.
Same with books.

Please help....

This obviously but it's out of stock and I'm heartbroken for you/her.

I hope someone on the thread remembers the excellent thread I'm referencing and not that I've lost it.

Oh definitely a raven!

That is a very good friend of mine!!! Hahahaha.
She still has the bloody thing.

A beautiful notebook. I've never met a woman who doesn't appreciate a notebook 🙂

I bought an amaryllis bulb to grow today for £5, can’t really go wrong with that.

SAINSBURY do a lovely bulb set in a wicker basket. So pretty and wull come v back next year of stored.

Good (Twinings?) tea or filter coffee or single size cafetiere (wilko or the range)

The first of the Her Majesty Investigates series in paperback. Basically a series where the Queen solves murders on the side while ruling the country. A really fun and unusual book in the Richard Osman style but less well known so she's less likely to have it even if she's a reader who loves those kind of books.

Does anyone have a recommendation for which scratch card? I like the idea of doing one for secret Santa but never bought one before!

Five £1 scratch cards?
Flowers?
You say she feels the cold easily, what about some nice fluffy socks or some slippers?

Does she like reading? I got a pile of charity shop books as part of a secret Santa; was chuffed to bits!

Sorry just noticed your comment about books!

How about an umbrella?

A notepad

Amaryllis. By the time it flowers spring will be on the way! Yay.

Plant or notebook

What about a photobook done by an online company where you just pay postage! I’m sure she would love a keepsake book of photos of you all 😍

Christmas cactus from Lidl for £1.99 and spend the other £3 on a nicer pot to put it in.
