Christmas Presents

[scoobydooby]

I have seven teenage nephews to but Xmas presents for. Only having daughters myself, I'm finding it really difficult this year. I thought about buying Adidas/Nike Backpacks (they're needed for school anyway) - something with a label that they wouldn't be too embarrassed to use! I could buy these off ebay for a reasonable price but the P&P always takes the total cost above my budget.

We all try to stick to a budget of �10 - �12 for each other's children. Does anyone know if I'm able to but such backpacks for this price and if so, where?

Any info. will be much appreciated.

If you're really stuck for ideas and can't find what you want, I'd be practical and settle for giving them all a cheque. They're probably at the age now where they'll be just as delighted with the money (and possibly more so if you make the wrong gift choice or duplicate something they've already got). You can always put the cheque inside a gift box with some fancy wrapping paper to make it look more Christmassy. We've adopted this tactic for several years with nieces and nephews and the cash never fails to hit the right button as they always seem to be saving up for something expensive we wouldn't have dreamed of getting them.
