    I have got the men in my family saving tins (the sort you can not get into without a tin opener lol) and put a £1 in it with a note on the outside asking them to put at least a £1 in each week and not open it till it's full.
    I got 4 off Ebay for £4.99 + £2.45 postage.
    They are big tins with different £ notes on them and hopefully if they hold on to it and keep up the savings will have £500.
    Also going to give them each a little pot of gold (you know the ones I mean, cheap tumblers, gold coins, a scratch card and a small bottle of their fav tipple).
    Prob will add some smellies too lol.
    Getting myself sorted 1 day/1thing at a time :) and Love sewing :)

  • Last year I got the OH a pair of tickets to the Grand Prix at Silverstone. But since buying a house we are having a £50 budget this year!

    No idea what to get him yet though, he is one of those men that if he wants something he will buy it, or he will want something electrical/technical and he will spend weeks finding what he wants and getting the best deal.

    Hopefully some of your ideas will inspire me!!
