“How cute is this? Mum’s Treat Tin. This tin was £1. I’m just going to fill it with all of my mum’s favourite snacks and then wrap it up. 

“Then I got a bunch of books. ‘Mother of the Year’, I’m going to give that to my sister. 

“‘My Kind of Happy’ for my other sister because we love a book in this household. 

“A Stephen King book for my dad. That boy is thick, this only cost 50p. All of these are 50p. 

“A Slimming World book for my mum because we’re always trying to cook low calories meals and eat better. 

“And then I got this for my nephew. He loves anything that spins and that was £2. 

“A little t-shirt from Next, £3. A pair of jeans, £3 as well. These look really long, but he is a long boy. 

“And then lastly I got this little bauble bath soap thing, and that was £1. 

“I’m doing a Secret Santa thing at work and we’ve for a £10 limit, so that was £1 out of the £10, and that would be like £6 by itself.

“I think that’s a very successful haul.”
