My boyfriend and I have agreed on a £50 spend limit for Christmas this year. So far I have spent 20, and have a plan for another 5 but am struggling to think of thoughtful gifts! I don't want to just buy DVDs or books particularly, want to make sure I get the most out of my money and that it will be extra appreciated!
Any ideas welcome! Thanks!!

What about vouchers for days out? There are a few on this website- tours of Wembley, Old Trafford which would fit your budget.
If you click on gifts for men , then show low to high they come first!

Don't know where you are in Lincolnshire but what about a Bateman's tour? daytime tours £4.95, evening (includes supper) £12.50
http://www.bateman.co.uk/visitors+centre/brewery+tours You could make up your own voucher for this.
What does he like doing?
Make a list and see if you can think of an "experience!" day out, walk somewhere interesting with entry ticket, afternoon tea....This would also spread the present over the year.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
