    Nellis men skin care samples from the Clinique and Lancome counters at Debenhams/Boots etc are ideal, and free ;)

    you could ask shoe shops if they have a boot box to cover, i think they tend to be better for covering in xmas paper. Failing that wilkos have some baskets for £1.99 with handles big enough for a few full size smellies, usually found in the bathroom dept.

    In Tescos today in the £1 lines which are now BOGOF - there were bath pillows.

    So why not make a male pamper basket (tongue in cheek!) - Bath Pillow, rubber duck (small packs in WILKO), can of beer/lager/wine (small bottles in ASDA 3 for £1), Kingsize Mars/Yorkie, Magazine (Car or Sport) and if they are a smoker, how about a cigar?

    Guys need pampering too!

    For those who have a sweet tooth there are many offers on small boxed chocs or how about those tubes of chocs/sweets? Only about £1.50 each and usually on 3 for 2 if you shop around. Or Choc Orange?
