If you're looking for Christmas gifts in 2020 for your boyfriend, girlfriend, parents or friends, then these are the best unusual gifts £10 can get you.

With Black Friday sales and Christmas around the corner, everyone’s looking for the perfect gift for him, her, grandparents and parents. But, as a student, you’re looking for a cheap but thoughtful Christmas gift that will show you care, while not breaking the bank.

We’re also all looking to be more sustainable and mindful with our gift-giving, so why not check out Firebox, and buy quirky gifts from an independent UK-based shop? Plus, there’s also a 10% student discount that’ll help lower the cost of your gift-giving even more.

Here are the best gifts you can buy for under £10 this Christmas:

1. For Mum and Dad 

Picture this: it’s Christmas Day, you’ve eaten your roast dinner and stuffed your face with chocolates. You’re lying on the sofa in a food coma, where you’ve been for the past three hours, listening to the Queen’s speech and watching the Christmas episode of Gavin and Stacey. Just when you think you’re getting bored, you remember the present you bought for Mum and Dad. You whip out the book and your whole family gets to work, answering six years’ worth of the weekly pub quizzes in this book. Christmas isn’t just sorted this year; this is the gift that keeps on giving.

2. For her

As the saying goes, ‘it’s 5pm somewhere’, and you can now have your mojito and drink it. A fun novelty gift, these cocktail marmalade jars make quirky presents that mean you can legitimately have a drink first thing in the morning, and what more do you want at Christmas? Choose from espresso martini, mojito, peach bellini and many more.

3. For him and for her 

Labelled an ‘isolation essential’, this book is the perfect gift for your significant other. If you can’t be physically together right now due to the lockdown, make sure to bookmark the pages that catch your eye, and get excited about your post-lockdown date nights.

4. For the art lover

If you haven’t heard of Bob Ross by now, where have you been? Grab this Bob Ross style paint by numbers and take them back to their childhood with this quirky, modern version of the classic. It even comes with a mini easel. Lockdown sorted.

5. For the plant mum

If you know someone with a houseplant subscription, why not give them the gift of labelling their plant babies in style? These badges are reusable and way more aesthetically appealing than the old lolly sticks they’ve been using. Give them the upgrade they deserve this Christmas.
