Seven ideas for last minute personalised Christmas presents on a budget
PRESENTS with a personal touch normally require forward planning.
But there’s still time to turn your favourite family snap into a keepsake if you get your skates on.
Plus I’ve got some other ideas you can quickly pull together at the last minute and all for a bargain price…
SNAPPY CHRISTMAS: If you’re stuck for inspiration, the Photobox website is sure to give you ideas. A photo tin is perfect for stashing holiday souvenirs or other knick-knacks. Round boxes are down from £15.99 to £13.99 right now.
Keen chefs will love their own apron with a fitting photo on the front — perhaps one of you enjoying a meal together. They’re on sale at £17.99 down from £21.99. Or how about a photo bauble or snowglobe? Both from £11.99 down from £13.99.
Plus there are heaps of other presents to choose from including cushions, mugs, blankets, calendars, phone cases and lots more. Better still you can get an extra ten per cent off with our exclusive code SUNEXTRA10 at checkout until Monday.
To make sure gifts arrive by Christmas, order by Monday and choose “economy tracked” delivery from £3.99.
LOVE LETTERS: Hobbycraft is selling wooden letters of the alphabet for £5, which are hollow inside so you can fill them with treats. You could stuff it full of your loved one’s favourite chocolates or mini beauty products, for example.
HUG IN A MUG: Pick up a mug with his or her initials and fill it with something they love.
Next has brightly coloured monogram mugs with stylish gold handles for £7, or Tesco has cute ceramic glazed Fox & Ivy alphabet mugs for £4.
You could fill it with a pair of cosy socks, a facemask and a bath fizzer so that they can indulge in an afternoon of pampering.
If they’ve got a sweet tooth you could include a sachet of luxury hot chocolate, some marshmallows and a chocolate stirrer.
