THE GIFTS

·         Gift Vouchers: Always a popular choice, but if you are asking from them in bulk, try to co-ordinate them for the same shop – five hundred pounds worth of gift vouchers for a single shop are often far more useful than fifty £10 gift vouchers for different outlets!

·         Money: A bit tricky to ask for but as long as you tell guests what they are contributing towards then many are often happy to oblige – even if their £20 will probably only pay for a few floor tiles in that new conservatory you are after!

·         Foreign Currency: An ideal gift for your impending honeymoon that can potentially prevent you needing to take any spending money at all – of course, make sure that the guests know which currency you need!

·         Charitable Gifts for the UK: Running the Samaritans phone line for a day, providing days out for severely handicapped people, helping vulnerable young and elderly people across the country – just some of the many worthy causes that all need your support. From as little as £10, gifts like these really make a difference.

·         Charitable Gifts for Overseas: Be they goats or donkeys, field irrigation or mango plantations, we have seen them all. There are millions of people all around the world who dream of a chance of a better life, and through gift items on your gift list, their dreams can be helped turn into reality.

·         Activities: Ferrari racing days, wine tasting breaks, a day at the races, you name it, you can ask for it. From as little as £20, activity gifts are a fun way of getting a gift that gives you something to look forward to.

When it comes down to appending items to your gift list, knowing what things to add can be tricky, but take your time, bear in mind what you have just read and most of all – HAVE FUN!
