There are some places where you can get photos printed off very cheaply. Perhaps if you had a number of people to get gifts for you could do this and keep the postage costs down. Pound shops often do photo albums so you could put them in there and write your own captions. I did a full photo book for one of my daughters the other year and she loved it. Sometimes if you haven't got a lot of money the fact that you have put a lot of thought and time and effort into a gift that is appreciated.

I'm sure whe'll like whatever you decide.

Would far rather have a daft pressie such as "who can buy the mos things for a pound" than £20 voucher

I'd rather take the £20 any day! I can't stand daft useless presents, they collect dust and are just a waste of money.

I'm sure Bonusprint had an offer recently for a personalised calender for something silly like 99p.


ETA: the offer is 8 personalised notecards for £2.50, but there is a 20% off offer, which makes them just £2.

Poundland do some very good hardback books, and some used CDs that aren't super up to date, but completely fine! I would recommend ebay and amazon, if you aren't going to include postage.
If she likes sweet things there are candy canes or chocolate santas in the 99p store too.

A fab present would be making fabric fortune cookies, you can use scraps of fabric (i'm sure you can buy some cheap bits if needed) and simple sewing skills. You can print off some personal fortunes that will be a hint to something you could do together or something you want to do for her etc.

This site has a good tutorial to give you some ideas HTH

I did a £2 gift with ,y husband last year after reading this thread & we will be doing it again this year as it was sooo successful!

Last year I bought 2 toy cars for £1.50 from Hawkins bazaar & a large gold coin which looked a bit like a medal for 50p from M&S. I then made a race track & the winner got to eat the gold coin!

Just wondering how I can top that this year!?

We've also recently had a baby so I need to get him a £2 gift too...
