Unique Christmas Gifts – Our Fifth Money Saving Shopping Tip

by I Love Unusual Gifts on August 28, 2010


Yes we are at idea number 5 already for our special on buying unusual Christmas gifts throughout the year and avoiding debt by doing so.  If you have been following our special shopping tips, you could already have sorted out 4 very special gifts and we are only nearing to the end of August. That is a pretty good heads up on Christmas and saving some money.

If you have a big family or a lot of friends it can get a bit silly at Christmas with all the people to buy for. It’s also getting harder and harder to find great gifts for under £10. So today I am sourcing gifts for under a tenner that are not only unusual but make great little token gifts or stocking fillers.

You could get busy with the cBeebies website looking for inspiration if you are on a tight budget, or you could let us do all the leg work…we have some adorable finds for you.

First on my shortlist are our personalised chocolate bars. They really are fabulous and will put a smile on anyone’s face. For the boys we have a Purple Ronnie ‘smashing guy’ wrapper, perfect for boyfriends, brothers, sons, nephews, friends, colleagues, father in laws or even the old hubby.  Also perfect for posting to relatives you might not get to see. You can personalise the wrapper with your recipient’s name on the front  and add your personal message to the back.  We also have ‘Fab Dad’,  ‘Brilliant Boyfriend’, ‘Gorgeous Girlfriend’, ‘Smashing Girl’ and ‘Fab Mum’. They are all £6.99 and usually dispatched the same day.  And let’s face it there are not many people who don’t like chocolate, so this has to be a pretty safe bet for any picky pants person!

For baby’s first Christmas we have some adorable hand wooden tree decorations. Each one is personalised and comes with a matching hand crafted gingham bag. Choose blue for a boy or pink for a girl and the rustic twine adds the finishing touch to this lovely item. Priced at £8.99. For everyone else we have a festive hand crafted wooden star. You can choose between green or red and simply add your personal message to one of these fabulous decorations.  Really cute with a base colour of cream and trimmed in festive red or green with a matching gingham bow to finish off this lovely design. Snap yours up for just £8.99.

Just a bit of fun are our school prefect style badges for him and her. For him we have a black one that says ‘playboy’ and for her ‘sex kitten’ both are currently on special offer at £2.25 so snap them up quickly before they are gone.

Sterling silver initial charm complete with lobster clasp so that it can easily be added to any necklace or bracelet.  Currently on special offer too, was £8.99 now only £4.50. Some letters have already sold out. Great bargain!

Another stocking filler on offer are our Charlie and Lola soother packs, was £6.50 now only £3.25. So if you know a little Mr or Miss Bump, one of these might make a very apt gift!
