I can never seem to get presents sorted out well in advance and end up rushing around buying things from the web like a complete nutter! Does anyone know of a decent site to buy small novelty gifts with as price range of £10-£30?

I know I could use ebay but I find it very difficult to come up with ideas to search for. I have used www.xmaspresentstore.co.uk (http://www.xmaspresentstore.co.uk) for creating my own t-shirts etc but it's a bit to much effort for me for every gift and www.play.co.uk (http://www.play.co.uk) takes ages to trawl through and doesn't have much unique gifts.

I buy throughout the year, so don't have a last minute rush. It also works out cheaper, and what I buy isn't just Christmassy items. Done it for over 40 years, and I've never got into debt just because it's Christmas.

A while ago I came across a site that had some interesting gadgets and gift for christmas. They were very reasonably priced and seemed a bit too good to be true. I found out that they were based in Singapore and this did put me off a bit but there was one I tem I wanted. The cheapest I could find on the net for this item was £5.50 and on this site it was £2.87 including P&P from Singapore.

Nothing ventured nothing gained and it was only £2.87, not really a lot of money. I ordered it and paid for it on the 15th November. I received a e-mail when it was posted and the item arrived today, 24th November, well packed and in perfect condition.

So I thought I would share this with you all and if any of you want try here is the web address :-

Also based in Asia, but good prices & free shipping if you are prepared to wait a couple of weeks.

My family has a drawing each year for names to purchase a Christmas gift. It has worked well for us for many years now. We have a drawing for the adults and another drawing for the children. Each individual family is free to do what ever they want to do for the individual families.
