I normally spend £100's on xmas pressies... so i tried a new idea. (best maybe for people with out kids-eg students as kids may want more) these are useful things, as i dont like wasting money on c*** they wont use.(tip is to buy things like lynx -named brands)
EDIT :images are up, but some of the items arn't wrapped..
Men total: 6.00
kids (eg nieces) total :£3.00 (girls)
*tips&
buy known brands-but got to pound world or wait till shops have offers... looks better in a hamper than asdas own brand
buy one get one frees- get them!
pretty hat boxes or wrapping really make the diffrence, so hat boxes for women. Werid ideas like putting them in a big hat make them stand out! (so put all the mens gifts in a cap for example )
Ive tried to buy things i know theyll use, as im sick of buying stuff that isnt (i still have about 6 "selction boxes" of boots toiletries im working through!)
