Christmas Gift Ideas for £2 and Under
£2 doesn't really buy a lot these days, does it? But it does buy a card - and cards, in my opinion, are a really special gift. Who doesn't love receiving a hand-written card from a loved one? Why not choose a special card, and then hand-write a lovely message or type up a letter and put it inside? Maybe even pop in a photo? I love reading all my friends' news - and with all our busy lives, it's often hard to keep in touch as often as we'd like. I think Christmas cards are a definite winner (and easy to post too).
Christmas Gift Ideas for £5 and under
Christmas baubles are super-popular at Christmas time and make a great, inexpensive gift to let someone know you're thinking about them. Every time your loved one sees it hanging on their Christmas tree they'll think of you which is a lovely thought. And when the Christmas decorations come out again in years to come, you'll be in their thoughts again.
Most people love a cup of tea or coffee so what about a coaster? You can add a little message in a card, pop the coaster inside, and you've a great small gift which can be posted as a large letter. Your loved one will be able to pop it on their coffee table or beside their desk and think of you every time they have a cuppa.
