Dizzy’s 10 Christmas Gift Ideas for Under £5

Christmas seems to be approaching very quickly! And Dizzy and I are starting to consider present ideas. Most years, we leave it till the week before Christmas, but this year we really are trying to be more organised! 🙂 We also realise that most of us don’t have much spare money at the moment, and therefore Dizzy has made this little list of Christmas gift ideas for under £5. Some are even free! 🙂

1. Streaming subscription

This one doesn’t sound a cheap one, but Netflix are now offering a month subscription with ads for £4.99. Christmas can be hard for some people, and this could be a great present for the festive period. 🙂 

2. A jar of sweets

Most people have a favourite sweet (either now or from their childhood), and this can be a really thoughtful, and yummy gift! 🙂 Dizzy’s is a jar full of ginger nut biscuits – not technically a sweet, but Dizzy doesn’t worry about that sort of thing…

3. Scented candles

These can be super relaxing! Dizzy was gifted a camomile one last Christmas, and as soon as we put it on, she’d be snoring away!  

4. Soaps/bathy bubbles

This is another relaxing one. 🙂 Anything to do with nice soapy or bubbly stuff can be great for helping someone to take time out for some self-care. 🙂

5. A little plant

Dizzy loves little plants. You can find an array of different ones, and I always think they make any room even brighter and happier. They also provide great company over the Christmas period and beyond. 

6. A book

Books always make wonderful presents, whether they are long novels or pretty picture books. Dizzy would also like to add that there are many out there all about donkeys. 🙂 

7. Cake!

It could be a Christmas cake, but any kind of cake is always good. 🙂 If you’re feeling super adventurous, you can even make one! I’m pretty terrible at baking, but I always think maybe the thought would make up for the presentation and taste? 🙂 Dizzy seems to like them anyway (even if she would always rather have gingernut biscuits). 🙂 

8. A notebook with a personalised note

This one is really sweet and useful! We all need notebooks at times, but with a personal note it makes it a super special gift that someone can use all year round. 🙂 

9. A visit

This one is completely free, and can mean so much more to people than any gift that is bought. Just spending a little time with someone can make their whole Christmas. 🙂 

. 10. Email/letter

A little visit is not always possible, especially when living with a chronic illness, but an email or letter can be just as special. Dizzy and I love sending letters, as we can add little donkey drawings round the side of them. 🙂

Have you started thinking about Christmas presents yet? And are you sharing any of Dizzy’s ideas? 🙂 xxx
