I'm sure I've seen laminating advertised by our local library, or you could ask in estate agents or solicitors. I know ours do photocopying for pennies. Might be worth a try?

you could always use the clear coasters that you usualy put your cross stitch designs in a bit like this Round Acrylic Coaster but im sure you can find them cheaper http://www.sewandso.co.uk/ran750-0.html

Baker Ross do all sorts of craft items at OK prices. Try here

Oh I forgot to say I use these and make a photo montage out of the tiny index pictures that I have taken of the individual children I look after. It then goes home as a Christmas pressie for Mum or Dad.

Or you could get small plain ceramic tiles (you might be able to bag a couple of samples from the shop) and use the mug paint on them.

Hi have a look at this site if you wish to make personalised gifts. The clear coasters are £6.99 for 10 which at 70p each aint bad.

Try your local stationery shop, our's does. If they don't they can probably tell you who does.
