DS2 age 12
DS1 16th birthday just before Xmas

Aunt
SIL (31 and still young and fun!)
BIL - partner of SIL
another SIL - single parent
little niece age 18 months at Xmas
Sister
BIL
Niece age 8
Nephew age 12
DH

Ialso need to get a secret Santa gift for a colleague in her early 40s.

Niece age 8 - ideas

• Matilda writing paper - www.amazon.co.uk/Matilda-Writing-Paper-Envelope-Sheets/dp/B085QM4J4F
• National books token
• Harry Potter Uno
• dream catcher craft kit - www.amazon.co.uk/Make-Real-1403-DIY-Dreamcatcher/dp/B079K45Y1V/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=13RW89ZP6C8BB&keywords=make+a+dream+catcher+kit&qid=1668302555&sprefix=make+a+drea%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-3

What’s the secret Santa limit?

£10 for secret santa

What is your budget for the gift recipients?

Just say you're not buying for adults?

We do idea lists for family and I’ve put a Dock and Bay hair turban on my list - it’s £14 from John Lewis , so one of your women might like that , it’s not something I’d probably buy for myself , so a good thing for a present .

Really depends on budget. You say low cost but is that £5, £10…? Are you looking for laptop “equivalent” type gifts for your other two dc? Do adult gifts have to be personal and thoughtful or can you do wine/chocolates/cheeseboard/bath bombs?

Lego dot set, or 'sew your own' Hobbycraft set, or a Lush bath bomb set for 8 yo

North face tshirt for nephew (some cheap on John Lewis at the moment)

Little neice - Duplo set or something wooden by Melissa and Doug like toy food.

Rituals cosmetics
Tony's Chocoloneley
For anyone else.

Look at the Smashed Grapes offers in the Bargains thread (wine tasting kit) - I am getting my DH one as well as Game of Thrones novels and some Lego
