Tescos have some lovely Winnie the Pooh mobile phone holders on sale for £1.23~reduced from around a fiver.They also have some really pretty/fun mobile phone charms all reduced to around £1..... The tesco BOGOF disney DVDs are definately worth a look....I know at £13.97 for 2 DVDs it works out at more than a fiver each but they're a great gift for kids and the choice is pretty wide right now.Last night whilst there we also picked up a few bits of clothing either in the sale or on their 20% off weekend.They have xmas kiddies clothes in there on sale at our local tesco at the minute~xmas bibs/sleepsuits/tshirts/socks.And things like gorg pink girls gloves for 75p.....

Oh and more tescos stuff~anyone would think I worked for them but I don't!Honest!!
They have camera cases reduced from £5/£6 to around £1.50....
FAB kids PJs...Dora/Thomas etc for a fiver,then 20 %off this weekend.
As a newfound cheapskate....I saw some kids jewellery sets~you know the type....plastic rings/earrings etc which would be good for the girls but were a rip off at £8:eek: So I bought a few bits from the party section~you know the stuff you can buy for lucky bags....6 rings for 60p,4 necklaces for 60p,stick on earrings for 30p etc etc...a sparkly cardboard gift box which I personalised with the girls names and a bit of scruchy tissue paper later and we have two presents for under £3 with three times the amount of stuff the £8 boxes had in and frankly much nicer:p .

Mum always gives me chocolate coins.

Also a music single (£1.99)

Also https://www.grinstore.com has lots of little things like patches (£1.95), stickers (90p), Badges (80p) with 90p P&P for first item and 20p for each subsequent item. Good for the rock/metal lover in your life, as that is the bulk of what they sell.

Latest issue of a trashy celeb mag like heat, hello, ok, closer, reveal etc. to read when there's not much else to do on xmas day.

For an artist - artists pencils in varying hardnesses (2B, HB, 2H etc.)

A few copied CDs (you can print out both the front and back covers from https://www.tesco.com and then stick them in an empty CD case.

A poster (about £4)

A novelty rubber duck

A USB memory stick

Link to grinstore doesn't seem to work. Also I hope you are not suggesting people copy cd's to give to others as presents. As much as this site is about moneysaving, that is illegal!!!!

:cool: a lucky dip lottery ticket is a good idea. Could turn out to be much more than a stocking filler! I attended a wedding a couple of years back and they had done lottery ticket favours - much better than sugared almond!

BHS - 2.50 p Tin can where you can save 700 pound in £1 and £2 pound coins - if you are really generous you can put some in to start them off. Its the type where you cant get the money out unless you use a tin opener!!

I got the car one (that holds 500 quid) - printed of a piccie of a pink smart car - sellotaped it on the front and put a pound in! brill prezzie for my hard to buy for friend who wants a pink smart car!
