I have just got my dad a nice photo mug using the Cadbury’s Biscuit offer, all promotional packets have a code for a free photo mug. All you pay is the postage and packing and thats discounted to 99p so its a bargain gift for grandparents (and we get to eat the yummy bisuits).
I am going to wrap some presents up now if I can talk Mr Frugal into being my sellotape holder 😉
