Have you got a Poundland or similar near you? I blummin LOVE these shops for decent tat! Got three pairs of rainbow stripey socks yesterday for a quid I challenge you not to come out of a Poundland without a carrier bag full of stuff you didn't know you needed! :rotfl:Just run, run and keep on running!0

I always get my gf travel size toiletries from Boots. They do FCUK and other branded stuff and they regularly have 3 for 2 and other various offers.
Get yourself some cheap tissue paper and wrap them individually.
£20 should get you a fair amount of toiletries along with a lovely smelling gf0 -
Check out any local poundshops. Also Superdrug is good for that kind of thing. They have some really nice wash bags and makeup bags. I have a few that I put a wrist strap onto with a bit of ribbon and use as evening bags. You could get a few minis from Charles Worthington or the travel size section to put insde. They do cute little mini hair brushes too. You could get some sachets too; a face mask might be nice because that's a pampering thing and those sachets of instant hair colour are fun and funky (though not terribly effective). I am a big fan of the Hawkins catalogue as recommended by Firespire but if you want to avoid P&P try local toyshops for "pocket-money" gifts. I have a little stash of that sort of thing for poasting out or taking if I'm going to a birthday party where I haven't been specifically invited. You could get some sweets too. How about love hearts to make it nice and romantic? It might be worth looking in some children's clothes stores too for accesories. Things like hairbands, jewellery, keyrings etc. You could get some fluffy/cute socks in Primark, they always seem to have some sort of novelty socks for a couple of quid. Maybe some patterned knee-highs eg. fishnets or whatever, depending on what sort of things she wears. That would also have the advantage of being one size only, unlike tights, so you can't get it wrong. I have a little stash of ballons, party poppers and glow sticks for adding to gifts and they tend to be well recieved. I sent my cousin a sachet of hot chocolate that had marshmallows in for his birthday once and wrote in the card to have a drink on me.0

Are you connected to them or on a comission as lots of your posts recommend this site?!0 -
https://www.balloonsbypost.com.
They put a balloon of your choice in a box, and lots of little gifts etc inside. So they will do all your hard work for you. You can also buy extra things to put inside, such as some nice chocalates.
The best bit is that its a Charity site - so your helping other people at the same time0
