I was challenged by BritMums to find Christmas gifts for £5 or less from SportsDirect.com. Being a sporty family this was a perfect challenge for me! There are plenty of gifts listed in their Gifts Under £5 section but there are always plenty of items around the site that were £5 or less too.
First of all for my son, who is growing rapidly, I first of all found some bargain shorts (£5) for all the sport he likes to do:
Then as he often has incredibly muddy football or fell running shoes I bought him a proper sports shoe bag which had been reduced to £4.99:
As I had so far just bought for him I treated myself to decent running headphones for only £3:
A great way to keep the cost of Christmas down and fill up those stockings or get Secret Santa gifts!
A friend who has a big family of siblings and cousins, has big family Chanuka party in which gifts are exchanged. They put a modest price limit on Chanuka presents. Part of the fun is to find presents for everyone within the limit.
ReplyDeleteMakes sense and a great challenge
ReplyDeleteWe love Tenby but have only visited in the warmer months and it was spectacular on the beaches. Even though it was raining you still had fun and we love the arcades x #countrykids x
ReplyDeleteOn that looks like a lovely day with many happy memories #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteI have seen so many lovely summer pictures from Tenby and yes those body boards and wetsuits would be perfect, however this is the first time I've seen the town in winter. It looks rather bleak yet so refreshing to see it not crowded and the vast beach all to yourself. The medieval walls are really rather impressive and it looks like you found the perfect way to shelter from the autumn weather. I hope you make it back there again one day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
This is my perfect kind of day, all outdoor fun made using nature's finest ingredients! I'm so pleased you got to use those new wetsuits and body boards. It looks like the weather made quite a turn a round after Tenby and you made the perfect choice on where to go on which day. I bet everyone was starving by the time it came to the BBQ after all that sand and surf. This makes me want to pack up the car for a beach day this week, I hope the weather agrees!

Oh, I love Tenby so much! We went there during our honeymoon in 2015 and again last year when I was 6 months pregnant with LO. It's great to see recent photos of it, I'd love to visit again ASAP. #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant day! I particularly like the buried in sand photo, haha! #CountryKids

ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Tenby but one of my relations is there this week. I don't think you can go to the seaside without playing the penny falls! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteI love that the children wanted to paddle even though it was cold and rainy. 2p machines are always lots of fun too :-) #countrykids
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day out. My girls like burying people in the sand too! Looks like you had gorgeous weather for your day at the beach too :-) #countrykids
ReplyDeleteIt's great that kids want to paddle whatever the weather! They always end up soaked though, don't they :) Love those old walls. #countrykids
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely day, beautiful beach. Sounds like you all had a lot of fun. The buried in sand photo made me smile :) #countrykids
ReplyDeleteWe went to tenby once when i was a child. I'd love to go back. I inly remember the beaches not the medieval walls. #countrykids
ReplyDeleteKids just love to paddle! I swear they don't feel the cold. We didn't make it into Tenby when we visited the area a couple of years ago, always wished we had but it was alas a rainy day too!! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteGood sand definitely makes a good beach trip! Blue sky is always a bonus in Wales! The BBQ is massive, I'd have wanted BBQ every night. Maybe you did!!? #countrykids
ReplyDeleteWater days are always so much fun. The sand photo was funny and the BBQ looked delicious. #countrykids
ReplyDeleteI am always on the hunt for new beaches. We spent a lovely week in Pembrokeshire mainly on the beach. Will have to look at this one for our next adventure! #countrykids
