Token gifts for friends and distant family are a fun thing to do at Christmas; I know money is tight for everyone this year, but I heard on the news that people were taking family & friends off their Christmas gift list – I thought this is pants! The joy of giving presents to people leaves you feeling happy and with the economy all doom & gloom at the moment, we could all do with a little cheering up!
All the high street shops are doing the 3 for 2, like Boots, WH Smiths, Supermarkets etc. But if you are looking for more than the traditional token of smellies or chocolates then I’ve checked out some economy token gifts that Christmas budgets may be able to spread to:
