It can be difficult to find perfume on a tight budget, but a good search can turn up some lovely stuff. That includes small gifts, miniature fragrances, and the new wave of quality body sprays.
Some great places to start the search include Direct Cosmetics, Fragrance Direct and AllBeauty, or look below at Penny’s Picks for some inspiration…

Bath & shower gifts under £10
There are some excellent own-brand bathing goodies at on the shelves at Poundland this month, prices £1 to £2 in-store only, including bath fizzers, bath salts and bubble baths. I also rate Asda for their own stocking filler bath & shower ranges, especially Miss Roxie, nspa and The Orange Tree, with many items from £1.
If you want famous brands then here are some of my top picks, including high street deals, online bargains and little designer treats.
