*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!)
