    £2 products – Glade refills and 14 birthday cards

    In Sainsbury’s today, they had Glade Discreet refills for £2 each. Normally they are anything from £2.80 – £3.00, so I stocked up.

    I do like this air freshener as it smells good and is….discreet. I prefer it to overwhelming plug-ins, spray or shriveled up gel air freshener. It lasts up to 60 days and we have one in the hall and another in the lounge. I bought the refills for the two Glade Discreet Decor units I have, as they just blend in easily. There are another three types of base unit that you can choose from, including a plug in. Here are the flavours of refill I bought (clean linen and Bali sandalwood and jasmine) and my actual unit.

    I also bought 14 cards for a whopping £2. I nipped into the Card …

    Don’t pay for expensive greeting cards – here’s the low cost way

    I was travelling to see my friend’s new born baby and had forgotten to buy a card, so in the petrol station on the way there, I picked one up, and then tried to put it back when the check out assistant told me it was £3.70.

    Wow, what a rip off. Unfortunately I had to buy the card as I didn’t have much of a choice. It was nothing special and I’m sure that it’s either safely tucked away in a box or already recycled.

    I decided not to be caught out again, so heading to my nearest cheap card shop in town and I got myself a couple of baby boy cards and also some standard birthday cards. The deal I liked the best was £1 for seven cards at The Card Factory. …

    Specially for you – personalised gift retailers with reasonable prices

    Making someone feel special is easier with a personalised gift, as it shows you put some time and effort into getting that something special.

    I met up with my cousin for a coffee and her daughter is turning 8 next month. She wanted to give her something to remind her of this momentous occasion…so we started looking around for personalised gifts and this is what we found.

    Personalised Gift Ideas

    Now this retailer really has a fantastic range and everything is personalised, from hip flasks, shot glasses to jewelry and teddy bears. I love, love, love the personalised pillow cases and have ordered the gamer one for my son.

    At £9.99 with free delivery, I think it will make a really sweet surprise and something to make him laugh every day. And my cousin is …

    With just under a month left till Valentine’s day, I thought I’d do a short round up of gift ideas for under £10 for women, men and teenagers – hopefully they’ll give a little inspiration to you.
