I really enjoy buying for them so I haven't exactly stuck to my word. I have bought them each a perfume, a top, a scarf and some jewellery and I have bought one of my sisters some Lush goodies, which I mentioned in a previous post and the other will be getting a new handbag.
I wanted to get them a few more little treats for them to open and I have found that you can get some fabulous treats for just £1.00!
For chocolates I raided the Poundland for the smallest box of Milk Tray known to man and a box of orange Matchmakers (they also had mint ones).
The Thornton's Classics bags are lovely too without so much unnecessary packaging and they only cost £0.99 from Home Bargains.
Poundland also had Herbal Essences hair masks, which smell amazing. I couldn't resist getting one for myself as well. £1.00 is amazing for a hair mask.
Superdrug are currently selling Impulse for £0.98 for a full size 75ml can. Sweet Smile and Secret Smile are my two favourites so I got them for my sisters to try.
In the other pound shop, Poundworld I picked up a can of Sure deodorant for just £1.00, which I think is great as, in my opinion, it is the best deodorant on the market and you will pay more than double for the same can in Boots!
Finally, Wilkinson's Fruits range had a crowd gathered around it last time I went to Wilkinson's so I took a look for myself and made quite a few purchases.
This is kind of cheating because these products cost £1.50 each, but they are permanently on a 3 for 2 deal so if you buy items in multiples of 3 they are only £1.00 each.
I bought more products than are shown in the photo below, but some were duplicates so I didn't want them to be in the photo twice.
The range have soaps, shower gels, scrubs, bath bombs, hand wash, shampoo, conditioner, bath foam, face masks, body butter, lip balm in their unique flavours.
Their flavours are quite unusual. The photo above shows a passion fruit and melon scrub, a strawberry and pomegranate bath bomb, an orange and pomelo soap and a lime and ginger shower gel.
It is difficult to smell the soap through the plastic wrap, but the shower gels and bath bombs smell amazing. They remind me of bath and shower products from the 90's that my friends and I used to buy for each other's birthdays and for Christmas and they had lovely, fruity, quite obscure scents that you don't find a lot of products in such as dewberry.
There are lots more scents from the Wilkinson's range.
I bought all of the different soaps. There is rhubarb and vanilla (amazing), lemon and black pepper, coconut and vanilla and finally blueberry and grape. I think they all sound amazing and I will definitely be trying this range for myself.
I know my niece will love these fruity products so I have reserved some for her as well.
I would be really pleased with any of these gifts and I think most women would be pretty pleased with them, but I think the hair mask is the greatest gift for the price!
Other items that would be nice to receive in your stocking and cost just £1.00 are these novelty products.
Coca-Cola or J20 flavoured lip balms and Tango shower gels and hand washes are nice little novelty ideas. They can usually be picked up from pound stores.
I noticed that Claire's are selling Kellogg's Rice Krispies lip balm for £3.00. I think the packaging is really cute for these lip balms.
A while ago I picked up this set of 5 Swizzels branded lip balms in the flavours of Refreshers, Double Lollies, Drumstick, Double Dip and Rainbow Drops!
B&M's website, www.bmstores.co.uk shows that you can get this set at B&M's for £2.99.
