Not free, but I buy lots of quality, pretty, but really cheap wrapping, tags, ribbons and bows from Studio cards http://www.24studio.co.uk who often have lots of bargains.

BORROWED

Stuff for a fiver or a tenner, look on the right hand side.

There's cute little lava lamps which use your usb (in blue and pink): £5
also watches for £5 and £10, they look quite nice, do for a stocking filler or perhaps a first watch.

http://www.harrods.com

There is a sale on there, I know Harrods isn't known for it's cheapness but most stuff seems to be reduced, you should be able to get cash back from some websites too.

Also Past Times:
www.past-times.co.uk
some of the stuff has been discontinued and can't be bought or os out of stock but seems to be good anyway for the stuff that is there

Not a sale but they looked yummy:

There's some kitchen gadgets like a bread prolonger for £1, some nice soap for £2.00, some lovely ceramic rose door handles for 50p each, in all different colours, they are lovely and you could make a nice change on a chest of drawers.

you could make massage oil, and put it in a little glass bottle - you can pick them up really cheap from charity shops and car boots.

This is a basic recipe:
Baby Oil
A few drops of essential oil.

Yes, it's that easy!
