Christmas is
very fast approaching, meaning that there will be a lot of people stressing
because they have left their shopping up until the last second. In order to try
and help some of those people, I have made a list of 10 last minute, cheap and
easy Christmas Gifts that can all be under £15!
Please note that none of the
pictures used in this blog post are my own.

| Hobbycraft Scrapbook |
Making a
scrapbook for someone who takes a lot of photos is a perfect idea, and the good
thing about a DIY present is that you can tailor the price to what you have
available to spend. Also, you can make the scrapbook as simple or as detailed
as you like, depending on the person you are gifting it to. This year I
actually myself made a scrapbook for one of my loved ones, the book itself was
£6 from Hobbycraft and the pictures cost next to nothing on a site called Snapfish.
As for the decoration process I brought some metallic pens, glitter, confetti
and some fake flowers to decorate the pages. I love personalised gifts because you
know that when you receive them that a lot of work has gone into them.
Cup Gifts
Every year for Christmas
since I was incredibly young I have received some sort of cup or mug, often it
was put in my stocking as a gift from ‘Santa.’ Everyone drinks something so a
cup is always a safe bet, but a way to put a special twist on the normal cup
gift is to fix it with sachets of coffee, tea or hot chocolate depending on the
tastes of the person you are gifting the cup to. You can also add other little
bits, such as marshmallows, a pack of chocolates, edible sprinkles or glitter
or special flavour essences such as toffee, caramel or peppermint.

| Cookies in a Jar |
An idea I have
seen often floating around Pinterest is to use kilner jars filled with goodies
as gifts. This could range from adding dry ingredients for cookies and cakes to
a jar with instructions on how to make them or adding travel sized items such
as shower gels, shampoos, hand crèmes or lip balms for a pamper lover. You
could place any small objects that the person you are making for would like
into a kilner jar and wrap it up with a bow and as the objects are always mini
size in order to fit inside the jar this is a present DIY that will be able to
stay under £15.
Gift Cards
You can never
go wrong with a gift card, and the great thing about gift cards is that you can
pick exactly the amount you want to give the person. So, whether your budget is
a fiver of fifty pounds someone will always be happy to receive a little bit
extra off the items in their favourite shop or on the favourite website.

| Primark Pyjamas |
Pyjamas
Primark is the
perfect place to go for cosy and soft pyjamas that are under £15, often you can
also find cosy socks or slippers that will also stay under the budget. Most
people love a new comfy set of pyjamas to snuggle up in on Christmas evening!
Sweet Tooth Gifts
Everybody knows
a person with a huge sweet tooth, and Christmas times is the perfect excuse to
eat whatever you want for the whole of December. Getting a present box, which
are found cheap in all card stores and filling it with different sweets or
chocolates is a given way to make someone smile this Christmas!
Home Décor

| Light Box |
Often people
will see a lot of things for their home or bedroom that they will never buy, so
get them for them for Christmas. A perfect example is a light box, or a set of
pillows, a duvet set or some cool wall art. I know that I love to decorate my
room and so do most other people.
Alcohol
For those of
your loved ones who are older enough to drink, you can find lots of alcohol gifts
sets, especially in supermarkets this time of year. Often with these gift sets
they will range from anywhere between £5-£20, again giving you freedom to
choose just how much you want to spend.
Wash Sets

| Ted Baker Wash Set |
In the same way
with alcohol sets, around this time of year every supermarket or beauty store
will have some form of wash set. Particularly, Lush do amazing wash sets that
can be tailored to each individual person. Again, wash sets can be really cheap
and can get increasingly expensive, perfect for whatever price range.
Lottery Tickets
I have always
loved getting lottery tickets as presents, the fun that comes alongside seeing
if you have one something is something I personally really enjoy. That’s way I
think that getting someone a bunch of lottery tickets and placing them inside a
card with a bar of chocolate is a perfect gift. It’s an easy gift that everyone
of all ages and interests will get enjoyment from.
I hope that you
will have been able to get some gift inspiration from this post, hope you are
having a magically festive time,
Much Love,
