Recommendations from Boots for a tenner

We have a tradition that anyone on a business trip has to buy small prezzies for the rest of the family - on average 10 euros/pounds per person for the remaining adult and two DDs (18 and 15). DH will be going through Birmingham Airport in a few hours and has asked for suggestions. There is a Boots at the airport airside which seems like a good option for inexpensive cosmetics.

We don't live in the UK so I would ideally like something that I can't get here in Germany (ie not the international brands like Maybelline). Any recommendations? Once I got DD2 some body scrub called Pulp Friction which went down really well, but that was at Heathrow and it doesn't seem to be stocked at every Boots. Are there any good No.7 products around? I'm a sucker for a good BB cream (over-40s skin). DD2 loves eye-shadow palettes. DD1 could do with something with heavier coverage for her problem skin. But we're open to ideas.

As an alternative (but not style'n'beauty wise), I'd accept a good paperback from Smiths, if anyone has recommendations in that line.

Soap and glory toiletries are good value, plus very pretty packaging with a 'british' feel about them.

OK, thanks, I'll tell him soap and glory - do they stock it at Boots?

So...? body sprays and colognes. Cheap and cheerful and not tested on animals.

Boots No7 make up is great. I love the Airbrush Away foundation but it's £16.50. Nice nail varnishes too.

And yes to Soap n Glory. Hand Food and the hard skin foot cream are both brilliant.
