Five Budget-Friendly Christmas Presents

Looking for the perfect Secret Santa pressie for your friend but can't afford to splash the cash? Check out some of our favourite gift ideas that won't break the bank... Old Skool Pics Hunt down your pal’s favourite snaps from Facebook and Instagram, print a selection of them and pop them in a pretty photo album or frame. Or if you're into your crafts, try your hand at making a collage for their wall or picking up some flat pieces of cork and gluing photos to them to make personalised coasters. Low-cost and sentimental. Fluffy socks Has anyone ever been disappointed to get a couple of pairs of fuzzy socks at Christmas? No, we didn’t think so. The bolder and brighter the better please. DIY vases, mason jars and more Roll up your sleeves and get your Pinterest on to make some custom-made bits and bobs. Put that growing pile of empty glass jars and bottles to good use (or pick up a few from your local pound shop) and start spray painting or stencilling to transform them into cute vases, candle holders or a place to store and display their knick knacks. Dear Diary.. If you've got a stationery-lover in your life (there's always one), you can't go wrong with a beautiful diary or notebook. Accompany with some snazzy new writing paper, gel pens or stickers and you'll have made their writing dreams come true. Homemade treats Because what's better than the sweet gift of baked goods? Make a couple of batches of their favourite cookies, cupcakes or cronuts, wrap them up in a festive tin and you're golden.
