Advantages: a 'pleasure gift' at a low cost

Disadvantages: none - just pure indulgence

Like most people with families I tend to run out of ideas, and do not want to repeat the same gift each year.

Each year for my sister and her husband;who have 2 children and often feel frassled, I give them a goody bag with a difference.

I never know what to get them, so I devised a goody bag filled with luxuries for a 'pamper evening'. I buy a pretty decorative box and fill it with a 2 small bottles of wine or champagne, bubble bath, scented candles and massage oils, hair colouring, face packs, scrumptious chocolates and even flavoured condoms or chocolate body paints for an extra bit of fun.

They are thrilled with it and each year they ask me to do it again. They enjoy the relaxing evening when the kids are in bed and it doesn't cost a fortune.

So if you are skint and running out of ideas, give it a try.
