    hi Everyone :)

    have a little problem, have done a kris kindle (think that's how you spell it)
    with all my girl friends and the budget is 20 quid, been in around town and all i can see are little bubble bath sets which don't really appeal to anyone anymore,

    Does anyone know where I can get a nice present or a collection of things for that money??
    it's not a lot which makes it hard to get something "worthy" lookin'.....

    thanks, i know you boardsies can help!!:P

    Make up a little gift box/package from Penneys? You'd get loads there for that, some jewellery, hair clips or hairband, cute socks/tights, a bag, etc. That's what my friend does quite often for people.

    I lover the paperblanks range of diaries & journals.
    I spotted the diary I wanted in Easons for 12.99

    But a custom made hamper as suggested above could be nice too. Maybe try & theme it - like "cosy night in" - fluffy socks, hot chocolate, a mug, selection of chocolates, a dvd, mag etc...
    or "mad night out" - condoms, minis of vodka etc, pair of knickers :D:D

    Avoca also has really nice gift ideas for Kris Kringle presents.

    Forever 21 are great on prices you could pick up some cute jewellery there, also check out Chapters they do great deals on books!

    Yeh I agree, do a little gift box with a few little items. The little air fresheners for cars in River Island are really cute, there €2, so maybe if your friend drives get one of those. Then pop into Forevere 21 in Jervis (that's if your from Dublin) you can pick up some jewellery too and maybe even a nice wee dressy scarf too! Have fun :) €20 is a good budget to have for a kris kindle!

    Hi Girls :)

    Thanks so much for all your ideas, although I would be delighted with a new book to delve into ,she's really not the reading type! more the TOWIE type :rolleyes:

    yeah the hamper idea sounds great! got a few little bits, a packet of those sour flying saucers,couple of small pocket size vodka shot bottles, cosy socks and some soap and glory miniture products which were really cheap, just going to get some nail varnish and some hot cholocate sachets and i think i'm done!!
    i guess it's better to get a load of little things she would definatly like rather then one big thing that she wouldnt be too mad about.... it is a very random basket though :pac:

    thanks so much!

    Ditto, I got lovely little gifts for my boyfriends sisters in there and there's a little feeling of luxury from them.

    Asos has lovely gift sets - I got a stila lip gloss set for my friend last week - think it ended up being £11 before 20% discount - they have new codes out every few days.
