The Frugal Gift Guide: Under £20

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman

Right, let’s do this.

I’m fully aware of the irony that I tell everyone to get their presents in October and November, and then I publish my Christmas gift guide in December. But I’m sure there are a few who haven’t quite finished their list yet. Which is mainly why I am doing a small, affordable gift guide here – it’s more your last little bits to get.

    Lovely little round up! And I discovered the Skinny Dip stickers this week along with Asda homewares – they're fab. There is also the cutest little white bunny in a cloche type dome thing in ASDA for £5 which is kind of kitsch, kind of cool – no idea who to buy it for so I might just have to buy it for myself!

      I have the skinny dip letters on my phone, such a great gift and great quality. I can't believe that cushion is so cheap and it's tapestry, not cotton, so impressed x

    These are amazing! My sister and I exchange stockings at christmas and I always struggle to get lovely things for the budget we agree. Also thanks @sue for the Asda tip, sounds excellent!

    Now, how many of these things will I buy for my sister and then actually keep for myself…

      I am so pleased you like! I have so many presents to buy I can't really afford to spend more than £20 each gift so figured this was more helpful! x

    Lovely round up! I discovered Skinny Dip yesterday at the Seven Dials christmas shopping event, it's fab! And I bought two of the initial candles from M&S for myself after seeing in your interiors post, but I'm now buying one for almost every girlfriend. Looking forward to the mens edit – they are always much harder to buy for!

      You're like me, once I find a good gift I'm obsessed! Yes, love Skinny Dip, have had those letters on my phone since the summer and they haven't peeled off yet! x
