Maria27

Hey guys,

im not a student myself but my daughter is and i was wondering if you have any tips for her in terms of buying gifts at this time of year, she doesn't have much money right now but would like to get people things... Do any of you know any good sights?

Thanks

Poundland is good. They have little bags of Costa coffee at 2 for £1 and my sister is forever finding branded make up in there. In Pound world she managed to find Barry M! Wilkinsons do some good gift sets, many on 2 for £8 and bath bits that you can make you own sets up with. I find amazon good for cheap DVDs. If you go on Granger Games or CEX you can get pre-owned and some new DVDs and games at decent prices.

Junior is a 2nd yr student and we've told him to take us out for a meal at our local 2 for 1 eatery.

I did warn him though that when he's earning mega bucks, my present epectations will increase lol!

My daughter is a 1st year student and has had to spend very little this year - for most of the close family she has found nice photographs of them with her and her sister and put them in frames from £land. The photos were free prints from Photo box. For a few others she has made pots of gold - a glass filled with chocolate coins with a couple of scratch cards slipped down the side and then has wrapped them in film tying them off with ribbon.

I hope the family will be pleased with the thought she has put in!

Call me a cynic but this strikes me as the first post in a spamming attempt.

You may well be right, but in case other students are reading...

...its too late for this year, but I'm a member of several survey/review writing sites. I save up the amazon voucher rewards throughout the year and use them for birthday/Christmas presents. I hardly ever have to use 'real' money.

Maybe she could participate in a gift exchange...like "secret Santa" instead of having to buy a gift for multiple people?

Buying sweets is always a good idea! Everyone likes them and would be happy to receive as a present. You may choose them depending on how much money your daughterhas.
