Gift inspiration sorely needed

Alrighty folks and folkettes, I need your help!

I am attending a party where each guest have to buy a present for another guest. We have a budget of £10.00 each and we need to buy for a specified person, one present for each of the letters in their first name. Each present have to start with a letter from their name/

The person who comes closest to the £10.00 "wins" the game.

I've got to buy for a chap called Matthew, so that's 7 presents for £10 pounds.

I've got the "A" in his name sorted as I found a copy of "Asterix and Obelix" in a charity shop - that was 32 pence.

any idea's?

How about browsing round your nearest Pound Shop for inspiration ?

The PoundShop :really: But it's dangerous in there!!

A few Ideas - Sweeties always go down well leaving you enough to at least buy one reasonable pressie!


M - Mars Bar
A - Already Done!
T - Tic
T - Tacs

Am loving the Tic Tac idea :rofl: Now I just need to find out which are the Tics, and who are the Tac's so i can devide them into 2 pressies

an idea for H = hat

You could push the boat out and give him Tictacs and a twix bar - that should leave you plenty of dosh for a lovely hat from the charity shop / market. Depending on where you buy it from they may be able to write you a receipt out for the exact figure you need to make up your £10 - or would that be cheating ? :wink:

I am pretty sure that cooking the receipts would be cheating :whistle:

Add the suggestion of a hat (try charity shop or Peacocks?) from Yliander and a Wispa chocolate bar too? Agree you buy the sweeties first then shop around for the hat, to see how close you can get to your budget.

what about the w???

Been looking all over town for a whistle and the only place they have one was in the camping store...........for £11.95 :really:

Bet many a cheap plastic whistle fell out of a cracker over Crimble - sod's law, innit ?

A novelty store might have stocked some, and a safe bet would have been a pet shop; though again possibly quite expensive and ultrasonic to boot.

Ahhh, but isn't there a 99p shop in Sutton High Street:wink:?

Don't forget there are two joke shops which have lots of good ideas in them. Personally I prefer the joke shop in Times Square as they stock dance shoes in there too :whistle:.

A cheap watch maybe?

Or a bottle of mineral water?

Or keep the receipt for the Wrapping paper. ;)

If you don't want to get a Wispa, then what about a woggle? Or a worm sweetie?
