They have this is asda as well, but I am 99% sure you get 4 cans because I remember thinking it would be good for my BIL.

They also do 4 budweisers and a glass, or 4 bottles of stella and a glass, or for the ladies, 4 bottles of wine and a wine glass all for a fiver.

DOnt go buying them all though, I need some for my prezzies

Lloyds Pharmacy, not the usual place to think of for pressies but some fantastic bargains in store. If you get a gift catalogue and can't find them in the store they will ph around and try and get them for you.

£4 for (set of 20 3m long) pinky/lilac star shaped fairy lights
£2.99 for massive pink mug "I can handle anything I'm a woman"
£4 for a football talking bedroom doorbell (voice recordable)
£4 Voice recording tape measure with light
£8 pinky or silver digital camera with software

Many more bargains including wash sets, mens gadgets, more childrens bits inc toddlers and perfume & aftershave sets.

I have even bought b'day pressies for next year as there is a good range of bits and really great prices.

Hope this helps

In Sainsburys today, I noticed packs of Mr Men & Little Miss bubble bath - 7 little bottles (about one bath each) for £3.66 - would go nicely in kids stockings or hampers
