    Photo gifts can be got for under £10 easily and can be a nice personal gift. need to order soon to get in time for xmas though!



    -daft photo printed onto mug/mousemat or similar for siblngs - could be a pic of them or you doing something silly/all together having a laugh. tesco have many ideas less than £10.



    GOOD LUCK!

    Grandparents and parents would especially enjoy a photo gift - something with themselves or theri grandkids pictures printed on it.

    And for your brothers, as above, find some pics from your childhood where you look REALLy 80s (or better pics of your praents form the 60s/70s) and using a photo program add a funny line to it about what's happening eg "Dad knew velvet flares was teh very thing to attract the ladies" and you have your own version of the funny retro cards you get in shops. Personal, funny and cheap.

    I got my brothers mousemats like this, with funny 70s pics of them as kids, with a funny line on them and they loved them and use them at their office.

    For the older ones take a family photo and put it in a cheapish frame, bahh beaten to it :p

    Would certainly mean more to me than a dvd etc
  • some great bargains in M&s and debenhams i managed 3 lots of aftershave for less than £10 delivered and smells lovely, maybe worth a look :)
  • Thanks so much to ALL of you! I took on board all of the great ideas and pointers, and without boring you with the details: I managed to buy for 13 people in the end, for just under £100. Wooo!

    Many many thanks, and Merry Christmas :T
