Cheap Gifts

May is a chocka month for birthdays – and there’s so much to choose from! Maybe it’s because I’m still recovering from my lack of sweet stuff over Lent that I’ve become obsessed with baking and can’t stop finding presents relating to food.

And because I have so many birthday gifts to buy next month I’ve got to buy cheap gifts and stick to my budget of pressies under £10.

Cash can get a bit tight around Christmas time, especially when it comes to buying Christmas gifts but there’s one site that may have come up with a great solution.

The next date on the calendar to be aware of is April Fool’s Day. Not a common time to send gifts and cards, but none-the-less, there are bound to be a few pranks and practical jokes going about.

It is a common time to read some strange tales in newspapers, or hear bizarre news on the TV or radio.

School holidays are usually great fun for kids, with all that time off they can play away to their hearts content outside in the sunshine, and if the weather is wet, why not get them indoors getting crafty and creative?

Are you fed up of chocolates? Christmas was only 10 weeks away and I am still working off the tins of Quality Street and After Eights! I am sure most other people feel the same way, but are just too polite to say it. So why not buy some non-chocolate gifts this Easter instead?

St Patrick is well known as the Patron Saint of Ireland. Come the 17th of March thousands of people all over the world, whether Irish or not, celebrate St Patrick’s Day in style. Usually with lots of dressing up and plenty of drinking.

However, this year St Patrick’s Day has been moved to the 15th March, to avoid falling on the holy Easter week, with Easter being so incredibly early this year.
