Cheap Christmas Gift Idea

I was so inspired by the lovely ideas people on this board had for gift baskets last Christmas I have decided to do some myself this year.

Just found out that snapfish are offering buy one get one free on their photo mugs, so I've ordered two for my parents with pictures of my children on and I'm going to put them in a basket with some fancy hot chocolate from Wittards and some HM biscuits. Hope this helps someone else.

    Birdtable are offering a 20kilo bag of good quality birdseed for £18.99. You can also buy cheap peanuts and sunflower seeds, but this is the best value. We bought a bag and will use some for us. But, put into some cheap seedfeeders, or in a pretty bag or mini sack, it would make a nice pressie. Lots of people love feeding birds, and the birds in my garden love this mix.

    This is ideal for the new board, taurusgb as people will be coming on looking for ideas at this time of year.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    One of the cheapest gifts I have bought this year is for a friend - Richard and Judy Wine Club book (70p should be £16.99) and a cheap but lovely bottle of wine from my french holiday (less than £1.00!!!).The book was part of the lucky dip from the Book People. I usually spend about £15 on this friend so I have managed to obtain above £20 of goods for less than £1.70.
