christmas dinner place setting home made gift

hi everyone,

i'm hoping to get some ideas for little individual gifts to put at each place setting for dinner on Christmas day.

Last year i made fill your own crackers and put little sample perfumes, earrings etc for the ladies and similar with scratchcards for the men and i wanted to make some thing similar but different this year.

Any ideas for containers or how to present the gifts would be so appreciated, as well as any ideas for small gifts, around £10 each one or less.

Thanks for any ideas x

    How about a new mini diary? I have bought 14 of these this year as adult table presents all different patterns and colours for only 99p each from the works. Previous years I have bought football programs from matches played on the recipients birth year, personalised bookmarks, fluffy socks, jewellery, perfume on offer.

    Mine are wrapped in paper that matches the theme of the table and piled in the middle of the table as a sort of centrepiece.

  • I'm planning to do something similar this year...I bought some Union Jack mugs in Sainsbury's half price and will fill them with small things and wrap them in cellophane. I'll put in scratchcards, and picked up a couple of small stocking filler toys just for fun. I bought a pocket multi-tool recently on Amazon, and I'll put in a selection of sweets. It's a lovely idea now my family are older, they don't have so many presents to open so it extends the excitement a bit.
