Ideas for a gift for my aunts and uncles
Hello there. I'm trying to think of a good inexpensive gift for my aunts and uncles. Aunt no. 1's main interest is in antiques - she's an antiques dealer - and I got her a coffee table-style antiques photo book and price guide last year (she loved it).

Personalised mug
Does anyone have a view on the best personalised mugs. I would like to get one with a photo on it for a friend but I would like it to be a good quality mug. I am not too worried about the cost within reason. It also needs to be dishwasher safe. Thanks for any views. Greenhopeful.

What to put in tin
I want to get my grandson 9 one o those tins to put "stuff" in. I'll have his name put on the front but what to put inside?
