My OH's birthday is on monday and although we have agreed not to spend much at all (mine is next month) I would like to make him a little 'student survival kit' as he is about to go back to college (to train as a music teacher. He's a musician now).
CAn anyone help with any cheap, funny ideas?
Thanks
Sarah

Hi there,
Make him up a lunch box filled with pens, pencils jotter books etc from somewhere like Tesco who are doing special offers (pencils/pens for £1 Ringpads 70p), a water/juice bottle to take drinks instead buying them from the shop/vending mcs. Buy a cheap schoolbag & fill it with all the small bits & pieces he'll need. If you can look up his course content something there might give you an idea (second hand recorder/tin whistle etc)
Hope this is of some help & wish him good luck for the course.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member No: 280 :T

I saw in tescos theyve reduced all the "best teacher" gifts from the end of last season, mugs, chocolates etc under a quid in my local one.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

you can usually pick up an academic year diary for a couple of quid - very useful to have one that runs aug - july.Debt free 4th April 2007.
