Hoping you can help me!

I've had a bit of a change of circumstances at home and don't have as much to spend at Christmas as I thought I would but would still like to be able to give nice presents. I've already told brothers and sisters that they won't be getting but intend on purchasing for nieces and nephews.

So my mission is to buy some gifts for 9 nieces and nephews, 2 mums and 2 dads that cost a lot less than they look I know you are all amazing bargain hunters and hoped that you would be able to point me in the right directions.

The nieces and nephews are aged 19 (f), 17 (f), 16 (f), 13 (f), 12 (f),11 (m), 8 (f), 7 (m) and 6 (f).

I dont have any coupons and only about 140 points but am hoping somebody can advise me on how to use the 342, GWP offers etc to my best advantage in the hope that I can buy gifts for 9 nieces and nephews, 2 mums and 2 dads for around £100

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Pick up a copy or 2 or ''prima'' magazine £2.50 (£1.50 in asda with free lindt bar of choc included)
As it has a voucher inside for a free elizabeth arder eye colour palette worth £25. You are supposed to have a consultaution to get it but some SA's are just giving them to you without a consultaion. So that could be a great cheap present for the mum's. It is subject to stock though so i would check you have an EA counter at your boots and that they have the palettes in stock before buying the magazine. I know asda has dozens of the magazines in my asda the other day.

For the young kids just stick to a £5/£6 make up set and get these on 3 4 2.

17 make up have a gorgeous little free gift tin when you spend £5 on 17 items. That would make a nice gift too.

You could try the razor glitch for the men.

Remember to put your card in the ACM machine as you might have a voucher for extra points on a £30 spend.

But remember its not the cost or size of the present its the fact that you actually thought about that person in the first place.

If your a crafty type person you can make IOU vouchers.

I do this for my friends as its pointless to all swap gifts and end up with loads and loads. I make mine for like 1 nights baby sitting, or taking their kids to school for a week so they can relax on a morning - i find they appreciate these more as to my friends there more useful but you could make them saying...

''Santa owes you 1 fabby xmas present''

Put it in a xmas card with a bow on and go and get your presents in the sale on boxing day.

The older ones should be old enough to understand your situation more than the little ones. So i would just concentrate on the younger ones for now.

I would rather have a fab xmas surrounded by my family and have fun, thats what i remember more. I hardly ever remember what someone bought me but good memories last forever.

red1708,
for the teenage girls 17 have some nice sets on 342, then maybe supplement these with some other 17 bits to get the 17 GWP? (17 GWP free wys £5 on 17) and make 17 type hampers?
For the mums and the 19f the elle bag £17.50 is offer of the week (last day today) also on 342 (works out £11 ish each) and imho is rather lovely.
No.7 bathing http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?storeId=10052&st=specificPromo&promoName=3+for+2+on+selected+No7+washing+%26%2338%3B+bathing%0Ais on 342 and you get the No.7 GWP + free paper gift bag, so you could do 2 lots of that
or the NO.7 suncare is bogof so 2 hair spritz + 2 lip screen £11ish +GWP
also there are lots of blueys around at the moment, either ask at the till for the SA to give you a few extra, (they can't get rid of them!) or ask on here (bearing in mind they expire 2/12) then use them to get either ROC wipes 99p or the Olay total effects radiance enhancing cream wash £1.50 to add to hampers. If you can find any S+G admit it you want me sets for £5 and 342 they make lovely gifts (also free paper gift bag)
If you do all this today on a xmas event eve you'll get £10 in points and check the acm before you start to see if there are any total spend points vouchers (possible 200/300) hth

This apparently is the new Max Factor GWP WYS £15 on selected Max Factor, I like this much more than the No7 gift. Has anyone any idea what's on the DVD? My local never seems to have the Max Factor GWP's.


Contains 15ml Lasting Performance Foundation in Natural beige 106, mini Colour Collections Lipstick in Midnight Plum 710, Earth Spirits Eyeshadow in Onyx 110, mini Khol Eyeliner Pencil in Black 20, 900 Ruby Fruit Nailfinity Nail Polish, a mini mirror and dvd.

I bought this a week or so back and the bag is awful. It keeps shedding the glittery bits, you only have to touch it and you are covered. The nail varnish is lovely, a blacky maroon colour and the lipstick although a small one is nice. DVD is pretty rubbish - just had a look at it now, abit on how to achieve 2 looks, tells you what is in the free bag and not really much else - not as good as the Boots one that was given away instore last year.

I bought the false lash effect mascara which is really good and the liquid eyeliner which is rubbish. I have complained about it to MF and they have sent me an envelope to send it backa and a £10 voucher to spend on their products.

Angie

Forgot to say there is a voucher inside of bag, £3 worth of points if you buy any Max Factor foundation valid from 1/11/08-31/1/2009

I don't want it if anyone else does PM me!!
