Gift for a couple

I'm in need of ideas, I have nearly done all my Christmas shopping and 2 people left to buy for. My cousin and his wife, who are newly married and in their late 20's, I have a budget of 30 pounds any help would be most appreciated

    last year we got a nioce bottle of white, bottle of red, bottle of port and a really nice pair of wine glasses.

    For other couples we know they are going to get similar to that, or a nice cookery book/ posh ingredients for the foodies in the family.

    Ohs suggestion is "an ann summers voucher" :rolleyes:
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Assuming they don't need anything new for the house due to being newlyweds, my favourite at the moment is a hedgehog house and some hedgehog food, either from a garden centre or from crocus.co.uk

    Or a DVD, a package of microwave popcorn, a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine. A night in in a box.

  • Many Thanks for all your ideas.... I think I will go shopping tomorrow looking for some nice glasses and a good bottle of wine.

    Thanks again

    Or a cheese and wine gift pack, there`s some really nice ones around at the mo.
  • I've seen a lovely hamper on here that someone posted (sorry cant find it), but it had a brown fleece blanket, a bottle of wine, glasses, nice choccies and it looked lovely :)
  • Terramundi money pots for under £20. They hold about £250 in mixed silver or £600 in pound coins £800 in 2 pounds. You can smash them in a certain way so you are left with a plant pot (I've done this with varying success). You can even have them personalised with names.

    They look fantastic as well. I know many people don't want to crack them they look so nice. Idea is you spend the money on something nice once you crack it and use some of the money to buy a new one keep it going.
