Gift shopping on a budget doesn’t necessarily mean purchasing boring items make sure you give a token something. Gifts that cost a fiver or less can be as thoughtful as more costly presents; you just have to think about what will bring a smile to the face of the person you’re buying for.
Weddings

Messages as “Bad hair day, not accepting visitors”, “Go away, unless you’re sorry and have flowers”, “Princess inside, enter and curtsey” and others lend a sense of humour to the occasion.
