Christmas Present Ideas for People Like Me on a Budget!

ITS CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN!

The time for christmas music, mince pies, decorations, presents and good will, I could go on for ages! Because I just love christmas and everything about it. However because I'm still in school and don't have a job yet buying christmas presents for my family can be challenging and I'm sure a lot of people have the same problem. So here are some presents that I have purchased over the past two weeks.


Wrapping can sometimes cost quite a lot of money so I did some rummaging and found these three really nice and good quality necessities, wrapping paper, labels and curling ribbon for a grand total of £5.25!

 

Then I ventured into BHS ( British Home Stores) and bought this set of teas and jams. Oh how British?! For my Dad and Stepmum for  £12 and a camera shaped cookie jar for one of my sisters which was £10. In my opinion this shop is really convenient, there is everything in there and it isn't very expensive, they also have an amazing christmas section!

I then ventured to HMV to buy some DVDs for my other two sisters and my step uncle's girlfriend (see i told you my family is complicated!) I got the two Charlie and Lola DVDs for under £9 and The Polar Express was £2.50 if you bought another DVD. I absolutely love The Polar Express it is in my top 5 christmas films and I just think its a really lovely film and she hasn't ever seen it so I thought I needed to educate her! :)

I got this next present for my mum, its a mug (no really! sorry for stating the obvious) that she liked in this independent cafe in our nearest town called Juliets. It is so nice in there and if you are ever in or near Tunbridge Wells you should go there because they just do the most amazing food and drinks! EVER! My favourite hot drink is their Chai Latte, it's beautiful. 

Anyway when we had the Chai's we had them in this mug. This is a hot chocolate set so it comes with chocolate chips and marshmallows and this was £9.

 To Hotel Chocolat I went and got some chocolates for my auntie, step uncle and my uncle and auntie (on my dad's side). Pink Champagne Truffles, Billionaire's Shortbread and Christmas Eton Mess. That came to £9.45

I also bought a platter for my other "dad" and step mum, The Night Before Christmas for my other sister, a bottle of wine for my step grandparents and some chocolates for my grandma.

So here are the presents wrapped and ready to be opened!

I wish you all a very merry christmas and I hoped you found this useful, sorry if its a bit late.

This is for the people who haven't started their shopping yet ! :)
