  • Try charity shops! We bought my DS a huge Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh poster in a frame for £1 (huge Doctor Who fan and this featured in an episode) so just one example of the completely random things you could find for £1! :D

  • Got to recommend the poundland virtual brand type perfumes. Got my other half one as a joke last year and it smelt great on him! Fab for the gym bag. Also the Madonna diamonds one was bought for me which smelt like a famous "diamonds" perfume!

    I had this dilemma a while back and ended up going into Poundland and walking out with all my presents for 16 sorted.

    We have a full split of male to female so made sure there were enough to cover each gender as well as neutral presents.

    This is what I bought:

    Egg Timer
    Key Finder Whistles
    Puzzle (ebay)
    Umbrella
    Diary x 2 (A3 - Thick and good quality)
    Twist Ties - made of foam and wire for tying things up like ladders
    Toblerone x 2
    Torch
    Head Lamp
    Nail Set
    Measuring Cups
    Shower Gel
    Apron/Gloves
    Scratchcard

    Hope this helps - go to a decent Poundland and you'll be sorted.
