I've recently gone self-employed, so the Christmas budget is a bit tight this year and my boyfriend has said not to worry about doing a stocking for him.

So I'm trying to put together a stocking of nice freebies for him - I've been trawling through the freebies board and so far have got Hugo Boss moisturiser, Hugo Boss fragrance (hoping they send one of the four male ones, not their femme one!) and a BBC comedy DVD! Just missed out on a free whisky miniature, unfortunately, but I shall keep scouring the net...

Just been to Tescos and they have girly items there going for £1.50 AND they are on the 3 for 1 offer. Great for stocking fillers or birthday party bags. I've just bought loads :j :j

50ml bottles of shower gel, bath bubbles or lotion with hairband included.
Pink make-up brush set and flower shaped hinged hand mirror.
Set of 3 small nail varnish bottles each a diff colour.
Set of 2 glitter lip gloss tubes pale & dark pink.
Set of 2 eye shadow palettes, 3 diff colour in each palette & both sets diff colours.
Pale blue toenail painting set inc metal file, toe spreaders, cuticle tool, metal nail clipper & a foot shaped something (?).

The sets can easily be broken up into singles so for example I bought 3 nail varnish sets, one is free according to 3 for 2 offer and if you split them up you get 9 small pots for £3 :T :T This works for the lip gloss, 6 for £3, and the eye shadow, 6 for £3 as well :rotfl:
