Last minute little gifts

[OhIdoLike2bBesideTheSeaside]

So my colleague has just brought gifts for my kids
Didn't do gifts last year only a card

I was out - thankfully and DP said I was delivering mine tomorrow and Christmas Eve

😥

Anyway - I now need 3 little gifts no more than £5-6 (she's bought sticker books and chocolate coins for mine, I did have a sneaky peek to gauge the level!!)

Any ideas?? They're all girls 11, 9 and 6

The works books and a selection Box?

At those ages mine would have liked a little pamper set. Face masks (3 for 2 at superdrug) a bath bomb and some chocolate/sweets.

Yikes!!! As she has gifted chocolate, it's fair to assume her DC are ok with chocolate, I'd just go with selection boxes and have a word about not doing it next year.

Alternatively, an age appropriate Christmas tree decoration each (garden centres near places for a variety that will suit each age group .

Near??? I wrote 'are good' !

I was coming on to say garden centre! Lots of little oddities at ours. Those plants that eat insects are fun, nice Christmas decoration, unusual sweets.

Sequin/ crystal art pictures (saw these in b&m)
Rock painting kits (b&m and the works)
Tie dying kit
Colour books (like Harry Potter/magical creatures)
Sewing and knitting sets etc

Just go to the works really they have 3 for £15 on craft kits or just loads of little stationery things

Charity donation on behalf of each DC? Pls don't buy stuff for the sake of it and escalate the problem

Lip balm or body spray.

Selection boxes.

M&S have lovely little kits in stock- in our local simply food they were near the magazines after the till areas.

They also had a little flower press kit, a dress garden and a decorate a bird house kit- all around the £5 mark!

CRESS garden I meant!

If you have a primark near you then go and see if you can grab some but. Took my DDs (5, 8 & 10) in yesterday to get each other little gifts, got some Barbie lipgloss, nail polish in a bauble, zodiac eye mask & roller, snitch socks and snitch notepad they had loads of cheap little gifts things. If not note pads & gel pens are good cheap easy gifts.

selection box/box of maltesers with a fiver?

Just leave it. It was lovely of her but you don't have to reciprocate. You could end up doing it every year and you probably have enough presents to buy/ jobs to do already.

Bath bomb set from home bargains!

Some great ideas on here thanks everyone 😊

Selection box or box of Maltesers each

Dunelm had lovely little grow your own kits in when I went a few days ago. Each box had a large letter on and the name of the flower began with that letter. E.g I think S was sunflowers so great gift for a Sienna
