Lucky Dip

43 Posts
Each Christmas i do a Lucky Dip box, just a box everyone who comes in can put hand in box and see what they pull out,
Every year i just hope the men get something they can use as theres very little in there for them
as i can never think of anything other than miniture deodrants (which i think is a bad dip as they get Smellies on the big day).
This year i,m going to wrap the girls stuff in pink, boys blue and neutral in silver.
But again i,m struggling with what to get for the men/boys--has anyone any ideas? ages range from teen to mid-thirtys, i can,t put any of there interests in incase they don,t get it--so everything in there has to be for anyone,
TIA

Also keep an eye on £ shops where you might be able to get things that look like they should cost more or buy bigger packs of things and wrap them individually so the price per item is < £1.
Mens gifts include, Silly Socks, Shoe polish kits, those wooden 3D puzzle things, chocolates. She does manage to get a lot of good stuff very cheap as well.....I think I did better from the Lucky dip then I did with my "proper" presents!
it's a bit cliche, but how about car/cycle related items ? Looking on the poundland website, they're doing stuff like
windscreen covers
scrapers
bicycle seat covers
bike wheel repair kit
and gardening stuff:
garden dibber
wind chimes
solar lights (although how useful one would be not sure....!)
Ooo, and at Poundstretcher:
5m retractable tape measure
screwdriver set (£1.49)
utility knife set (£1.99)
stuff that's available at other places:
Rolson multifunction tool at Maplin
extendable fork (for snaffling that last potato !) at The Works
Union jack trolley token on EBay
Paracord bracelet on EBay or here for more designs
And, I've possibly saved the best till last. Don't click here if at work or easily offended
But thanks for the ideas everyone they are helping:beer:
Keyring/Lanyard
Waterbottle/Collapsible water bottle
Travel mug
Small notebook
Playing cards/dice game
Handwarmers
Small photo frame
Mini torch
Calendar
Puzzle book
