Pressie's for £5.00

canspendnomore

We've set ourselves a challenge of only spending £5.00 on presents for the adults, but we've only managed to think of a mug or chocolates for my SIL. Got lots more birthdays to go yet - so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You could make some pressies...... like biccies in nice packets or some nice chutney? This website is really good....!

How about hampers - I made a 'goodnight in' hamper for friends that cost £15 but divided by 2 would come out at just over your budget of £5, but Im sure it would be possible for a fiver, in the hamper (£1.99 from Mr Ms) I put a cheap DVD again from Mr Ms, packet of crisps, box of popcorn, bottle of beer, mug marshmallows and sachets of hot chocolate.
Puzzle hamper - bought my friend a load of puzzle books and a set of pens

You could try a mini pamper hamper and if you have poundland nearby nip in there and get a few bits to pop in.

Im sure someone with more/better ideas will be along in a minute

Good luck and have fun

There are lots of threads for cheap gifts over on the Celebrations board.
Like this for example.
And see here, and here.
Just have a search, there's lots to be found. Also look for towel cakes and flannel cakes, pot of gold and read the thrifty gifty thread for lots of ideas.
