Today is my sister C's birthday and here are her presents.
As per usual all, bar one, came from a car boot, a charity shop or a jumble.
The pink shoes were something C chose herself a few weeks back. Looking at the bottom of them they look like they may have only been worn once, possibly twice. They were £1.00.
The grey socks are the one brand new item and they also cost £1.00.
The shoe coaster was 30p.
I would be quite happy to keep any of this next little lot. The sundae dishes are originally from Laura Ashley and were £1.58. The cereal bowl was 50p and the heart saucer was 49p.
The fabric the bowl is sat on is a fleece PJ top patterned with scotty dogs and polka dots, another item my sister chose and this was 20p.
Cath Kidston dusters still in their packaging for £1.00.
A pretty wire and beaded heart which can be used to display photos or cards.
This was also £1.00.
This is the item the above heart is laying on. A furry black gilet for yet another £1.00
This navy cardi is a long skinny one and I like it's delicate pattern. This was a bargain at 20p.
Not a great photo as it doesn't show the subtle colours of this long snuggly scarf and makes it look a bit dirty! This was bought back in January and was 50p.
Nearly at the end now and here we have a beige and black floaty fabric top which cost 20p.
I think is my favourite piece of clothing. The bird and heart motif is just so sweet. This was where the final pound was spent.
As always our budget is £10 and these items tot up to £9.97.
Wow what a haul! She should be thrilled with such bounty. It is my sons birthday today too, so happy birthday to them both. x
ReplyDeleteWow, what great bargains you got, i'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteI like this idea very much. I often include charity shop/vintage finds with my gifts, particularly at christmas, for example, a bottle of home made bramble brandy with two beautiful vintage/charity shop glasses, or a charity/vintage silver spoon with some home made jam. I think these gifts are so much more personal and original than many others x
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to C, I hope she has a wonderful day. What a great lot of presents, she must be thrilled with that lot.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing, I may begin shopping in my local charity shops.......very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic presents, you certainly have a good eye for a bargain xx
ReplyDeleteI do love seeing what you buy for each other with your budgets. So clever and there is usually at least one thing I lust after! :-) x
ReplyDeleteMany Happy Birthday Wishes to C.

Oh wow, you do SOOO well! I am very impressed!!!! The sundae dishes are so nice as are the sweaters!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fun you and your sister have choosing bargain gifts for each other x
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful bargains yet again! I don't think that charity shops near me sell any item for less than £2.00! You have done so well with your purchases. I hope your sister loved them all! x
ReplyDeleteYou do get some brilliant bargains!
ReplyDeleteGreat bargains you picked up especially those dusters! For me pretty dusters are a must they help make cleaning feel less of a chore.
