    . I recently bought my 26yr old a great bag from Bench as he is at uni and I know he will like it. Should have been £30 and I got it for £15 at an outlet centre.[/quote]

    hi sethsgran
    where abouts is the outlet centre?

  • How about a cosy dressing gown and slippers, I just got my DD (15) one from Matalan, £10 reduced from £12 and floppy knitted slippers £3.50. My daughter also loves PJs, trendy ones for sleepovers. If you spend £30 in Matalan you get a £5 voucher to spend in December :)

    I have bought a Nikon digtal camera as her main present but looked at this as she loves her photos http://www.inkfactory.com/exec/0f681d9673dc4d45b4dab57b66ad2b0a/keyphoto (get 17% cashback through Quidco) Last year I bought her a paint your own canvas kit that went down well and a walbum which I filled with pics of her and her friends. http://www.asda-photo.co.uk/wpp/asda/buygifts_tour.jsp?type=walbum

    Other stocking fillers I have bought are hot choc sachets, nice mug, trendy keyring, slipper socks, poster, underwear, earings, showergel, Ipod skin, a good girly razor, I will aslo buy a copy of her fave magazine, Scarlett.

  • I don't have much idea about what lads are into but you could get a magazine subscription for a sporty or mens mag? Check Quidco to see if there is any cashback and Tesco as Clubcard vouchers are worth 4 facevalue on subscriptions.

  • If you have a Mackays near you (M&Co) then have a look in the boys accessories section - they have Umbro wallets, gym bags etc in the sale - marked down to less than half price. They don't look at all kiddy, so would be great for a sporty teen (or older - just got one of the wallets for a 30th birthday hamper I'm putting together)

  • I bought my football-loving teenage nephew an animated cartoon for his birthday last month, which he loved. His face is put into the cartoon and you can add a message and so on.

    http://www.mycartoon.co.uk is where I got it from.

    I go to the Castleford Outlet on the M62 I think it's at junction 32. Not quite sure what the shop was called but they do tons of Bench stuff both male and female. The staff are really friendly. Also if you go on the Outlets site my daughter says you can get a VIP card free. In some of the shops you get a 10% discount with it, I know the Monsoon shop gives it and I'm pretty sure the Clarks shoe shop does also.
