5 For Under £5

This week's 5 for under £5 s focused on fancy dress costumes for Halloween. The costumes which I have picked are perfect for boys but also great for girls to wear and are a little different than your average "Halloween" scary costume.


I thought this would make a nice Halloween outfit. In the past I have seen other children dress up as ghost captains and I though this outfit would make a great outfit idea this Halloween. You could add some bloody stains to the costume and create a spooky effect by adding some face paint's and coloured hairspray to your child's hair.

Although I am aware of this costume being a Skylander costume, I also thought it would be fun for Halloween. As a parent who does not know much about Skylander's I thought this would be a fun idea to wear this Halloween. This costume reminds me of a spooky funny monster.
When wearing this costume, everyone would be able to identify your character. As a child, I used to dress up in a white sheet to go as a ghost to Halloween parties however these days it is just as cheap to buy a shop/internet bought costume. I think this costume is fab and will create a few scares this Halloween.
This is a super Halloween costume at a reasonable price. The costume itself is pretty spooky but you could easily add face paint to get the best desired effect for your Halloween event. This costume would be great to wear out as there is room to add extra layers under the costume/skirt part.

Last year Maxwell dressed up as a pirate. I bought him a regular pirate costume and added a lot of face paint on to his face to get the best effect. I loved Maxwell's pirate costume last year and this year I will again think outside the box to create him a fun costume.

5 For Under £5

For some of you, you may have broken up for the summer holidays. This week  I thought I would take a look at a few summer essentials that you may need whilst holidaying away this year.



I would be lost without a little First  Aid Kit in my bag at all times. I always find it is handy to have one especially with a clumsy toddler who likes to often fall over and split his legs open. I think this is a real bargain and it is pocket size meaning it is easy to carry around.

When ever I go to a different country, I always take travel adapters. I think they are a necessary bit of kit to carry and can be a life saver whilst away and you need to charge your phone, plug your hair straighteners in or even charge kids toys up.

When going away I often take a pair of these in my bag. They have helped me out in the past and I know they have helped my family in the past whilst travelling.

I find that it is always essential to keep all of my documents together when travelling. This little wallet would be perfect to keep all documents and important information together. I think it is a great price and a great size to tuck away in a bag. 

There is nothing worse than being on holiday and having a germ ridden toothbrush that has been lost in a bag.  I think these travel toothbrushes are the perfect size to keep in a bag. The cases are perfect to protect the toothbrushes and keep them germ free.

5 For Under £5

With Fathers Day just around the corner I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share with my readers some gifts which will cost you under £5. I believe all items can suit any budget and there is a little something for everyone! Enjoy.

5 For Under £5

Retro Sweets Gift Box - £4.89 with free delivery
This would be perfect for any Dad that has a sweet tooth. This is a small gift but perfect for your Dad to receive through the post. Why not take him down memory lane with these retro sweets?

If your Dad is a music lover, this gift may be well up his street. I love the fact that you are able to personalise this gift meaning you can send it with love this Fathers Day.

I thought these were a cute little gift to give to a loved Daddy this Fathers Day. Simple but cheap, these would look fab wrapped up in some tissue paper and presented as a gift.

This personalised lighter can be fun for any father. It is the perfect gift to light a BBQ in this hot weather! It would also be great for camping trips as well as lighting hobs at home.

Personalised Silver Polished Cufflink Box - £4.25 with free delivery
To go with the above cuff links, this box would be great for any father that wears cuff links on a daily basis. Give him something special this Fathers day and create him a personalised box to keep his special cuff links in.

5 For Under £5


These cones look fantastic for those who have active kids. These cones would be perfect for Maxwell to use when he is playing football with his Daddy and when he is learning to do new things on his bike, I thought these were a brilliant size and a great price.

Maxwell adores decorating the pavement with chalk in the summer and I thought these chalks were priced at a good price. We get through a lot of giant chalk over the summer. All you need to do is store these in a old lunchbox and they will provide hours of entertainment.

I remember having this game as a child and it brought me hours of entertainment. I think the price of this game is reasonable. This game can be taken to family days out. It would be brilliant to use at the park or at the beach.

These are more of a swimming toy however they would be perfect to use in the paddling pool also. Maxwell had this type of toy last year and we found that they were great fun!

I remember having one of these as a child. I was gifted one when I visited our local circus when they were in town. Using this toy was entertaining however I also learnt a new skill when using this toy. Guaranteed  to bring hours of fun this is my favourite item out of my 5 for under £5 this week.

5 For Under £5

This week my 5 for under £5 is based on Bath Time fun! Maxwell adores bath time, he especially loves it in warm weather so it made sense to create a 5 for under £5 for my readers to look at.


This colourful hanging storage would be perfect for the bathroom. It would be great to fit objects like a hairbrush in, hairbands, tooth paste and items which do not get wet in the bathroom in.

Maxwell hates having water over his head and I find that these shower caps can often help with his anxiety of having water poured over his head. 

 I adore this toothbrush holder. It is perfect to keep all the families toothbrushes in and is bright, fun and small to put in the family bathroom. 

I find that these 13 toys are great value for money. I often have to replace bath toys and I love finding cheap alternatives to keep Maxwell happy with. 

Maxwell adores ducks so this is the perfect toy for him. I love how the big ducks carry the little ducks. The set is priced well and will bring lots of enjoyment at bath time.

5 For Under £5

This week my 5 for under £5 is based on all things to do with camping. With the nice weather just around the corner, it will not be long before families are going camping and having fun this summer.


Stainless Steel Cutlery Set - £3.75 with free delivery
When I go camping I am always looking for cutlery sets. This little set fits neatly together and is stainless steel which means it should last a while. There is nothing worse than having to eat with plastic cutlery. This is a must have when camping.

Portable Extra-large Head Windproof Waterproof Matches - £1.34 with free delivery
Matches are always handy to have when you are camping, weather you need them to light a stove or to light a fire they are always handy to keep in a emergency. These matches are fab as they are windproof and waterproof.

HEADLIGHT LED - £1.99 with free delivery
I always think it is a good idea to have plenty of light when camping as it can often get quite dark and accidents can happen. At just £1.99 this is a must have for any camper.

Not only is this a great piece of kit to have when camping, it is also fantastic to have at home. I have recently used mine when Maxwell fell over outside and cut his leg open and I think this little kit is fantastic! I have recently purchased another for my handbag. You never know when you may need this little kit.

Cool Bag - £4.99 with free delivery
When camping, I often like to keep my food cool so this bag would be fantastic to keep meats, beer or even simple things like cheese cool whilst you cook. At £4.99 I think this bag is reasonably priced.

5 for under £5

Now we are in spring, I have been busy doing up our home. I have added canvas's to our walls, painted different parts of our home, made the garden look a lot cleaner and I have done other jobs such as sand down Maxwell's toy box. There is of course still a lot of things to do so this week I took a look at DIY items which cost less than £5. I was surprised at all the bargains I managed to find.


Buckets are always handy items in our household. We use them washing the car, washing the floors, doing gardening and even when cleaning the house. We own a lot of buckets that have different uses. I thought this bucket was a bargain. It is from a good quality brand and I love the fact it has a metal handle which makes it easy to move around the house.

This is a brilliant item which is perfect to keep on the top of your tool box or even in your pocket. With 13 different uses, it is useful for many jobs. Having it near by could potentially save you time looking for different tools.

I always find these type of screwdrivers are super to use when I am putting flat pack furniture together. With 14 pieces in this set, £3.99 is a good little bargain which will come in handy.

I thought this was a great bargain! I am always looking for boxes to store my DIY items. This box is small but big enough to fit all your DIY belongings in. I keep mine in a easy to reach place in the shed. It has 2 layers and once my first one is full, I shall be purchasing another.

I always have 2 screwdriver sets in my tool box as I often find that if one is missing I have a back up or when setting up flat pack furniture, 2 of us can be putting the furniture together rather than one as we both have the necessary tools to do the job.

*Please note that these items do not offer free delivery when buying them unlike other items that I share. When you spend £10 on Amazon on selected items you will get free delivery. All these items are included in the selected items to get free delivery when you spend £10 or more.

5 for under £5

This weeks 5 for under £5 features items which are travel essentials. We are now in spring and many people are preparing for their summer holidays so I thought it would be a great idea to share items which are not only cheap but items which are needed by may.





These adapters are always handy to have, I would be lost without one when going away. Having one of these enables me to use my straighteners, phone charger and other electrical items. All I have to do is simply use this adapter in a foreign plug socket and it enables me to have a compatible plug socket like we have in the UK.

I think selfie sticks are fun! This selfie stick would be brilliant for travelling as it would easily capture any fun photo's that you may want to take. Photo's go on to bring back memories later in life so why not capture those fun holiday memories? 

Airlines can often be fussy when it comes to having liquid on planes so why not purchase these bottles? The bottles can be used over and over again and will end up saving you money in the long run.  There is nothing worse than having to buy items when away that you already have at home.

Since having Maxwell  I always tend to carry a small first aid kit in my bag. Maxwell often fulls over and a antiseptic wipe along with a plaster can be handy at times.

I love the idea of these little tablets which turn into towels with the splash of water. I think these would be the perfect item which would enable you to freshen up on your travel journeys.

5 for under £5

This week's 5 for under £5 features lots of little bits that will be helpful when preparing lunch. I always try my best to give Maxwell a creative lunch, here is a few items which I sometimes use to give him a lunch that sounds out from the crowd.


This mould is cute to add chocolate or rice to to create a little animal figure. I adore the design of this set. The chicken would be a nice addition to any lunchbox this Easter.

I always find these silicone cases to be very handy. They are great to add items in such as apple or grapes. They are simple to keep clean and are easy to replace when you need to.

I love using cookie cutters in Maxwell's lunch box. I love making shapes with his food and he enjoys eating it - he especially loves stars. I prefer getting plastic cookie cutters as they never seem to go bad unlike the metal ones.

I think these little message boards are cute. On your child's special day. Whether that be a exam day, a school play or a day where you just want to wish them luck, why not send them a mini message to show them that you are thinking of them and that you care.

I adore the concept of this little guard. Maxwell sometimes has squashed bananas in his bag so this handy little gadget stop me wasting money with having to throw bananas away because they have gone bad.

5 for under £5

World Book Day is just around the corner so I thought I would dedicate my 5 for under £5 this week to World Book Day costumes. These costumes can be purchased off Amazon with free delivery when you spend over £10. 


Wilbers Hare Kids Costume (4-5 Years) - £3.01
I simply adore this costume and if it had been in Maxwell's size, I would have purchased it. I think this outfit would be perfect for any Alice In Wonderland fan. You can add accessories to it to make your child look unique.

Great Pretenders Princess Dress (Medium) - £4.25
Every little girl loves dressing up as a Princess and World Book day is a great day to dress up as a princess. There are many princess's in books however a few of my favorites are in Princess And The Frog and Sleeping Beauty.

Rubies Victorian Pick Pocket costume Victorian Pick Pocket (Medium) - £4.97
I am a huge fan of this type of costumes as I love how unique the costume looks. This costume is perfect if your child wants to look like Oliver Twist this World Book Day. Add some dirt on your child's face and your child will look the bee's knees in this costume.

Witch Cat Costume Medium 7-9 Years - £4.99
Going as a witch on World Book Day seems a popular choice. There are plenty of books which feature  witches however a few of my favorites include Winnie The Witch and Room on the Broom.

Red and White Striped Children's Shirt (6-9 years) - £4.73
A popular and easy choice on World Book day seems to be Where's Wally. This costume is easy to do when you get a red and white shirt, team with a plain pair of trousers, a black and red hat and glasses and your child will stand out from the crowd.

5 for under £5

It is half term next week and something which I love to do with Maxwell is get creative. This week's 5 for under £5 is craft related and features craft items which you can purchase for under £5!


I always find that lolly sticks are great fun to make other things with. I have made a plane out of sticks before, a little boat and little stars for Christmas. I love the bright colours of these, they are great for children. 

Maxwell is obsessed with wiggly eyes and I have bought a few packs of these myself. Maxwell loves to add eyes to socks to create sock puppets and he often like to add them to wooden spoons to make spoon people.

I always find that we need glue sticks when doing crafts and I thought these were a fantastic price so I decided to share them. You can never have enough glue when it comes to crafts.

I find that paper always comes in handy when doing crafts. It is fantastic to make things with but it is also great to colour on, paint on, craft on and is a cheap item to buy.

Maxwell loves these little fluffy pom poms. They are great to make little crafts out of and can be stuck to one another with glue. Maxwell has created animals out of them but more recently has tried to create people out of them with the help of Mummy.

5 for under £5

With Valentines day just around the corner I thought it would be a great idea to dedicate one of my 5 for under £5 post's to all things Valentines related. Below are some items which I thought would make great gift's for him and her!

5 for under £5

I thought this would make a great gift for any music lover. I adore personalised items and I think that this would be a fab present to give to a loved on this Valentines.

I think this would be a great gift for anyone this Valentines. Most people associate lighters with smoking however I think this would be perfect for any candle lover, smoker and even any BBQ lover.  I love the fact you can personalize it, this would make a very special present this Valentines.

This would be a great gift for any couple this Valentines. It's a fun DVD  which can be watched any time of the year but would be great to watch on Valentines day.

Gift sets always go down a treat on special occasions. Gift sets are a easy present to give to anyone. This gift set is a bargain price and would make a great little extra present along with something else.

Most of the men in my family love Lynx so I thought this would be the perfect gift this Valentines day for any Lynx lover. The price is fab and the gift is simple but thoughtful!

5 For Under £5

This weeks 5 for under £5 is to get ready for the new year spring clean. Maybe it is me but I adore cleaning at the start of the new year. I love to bin items which we haven't used in the last 6 months,  I love to gift stuff, Ebay stuff and even donate to my local charity shop. 

5 for under £5

I thought these would be a great idea for those with children that still use bottles. These bottle cleaners were great when Maxwell was smaller and we found that they were good at getting in all the tiny spaces which a cloth was unable to reach. We spent £10 on one brush alone when Maxwell was smaller so these are a bargain,

I have one of these for my house and I believe it is a excellent item to have around the home. I am fairly small so having one of these is perfect for me as it extends so I can reach hard places. I hate cobwebs so this item is fantastic at getting them down.

This is item is a little item which can be useful around homes. These removers are fab if you have any old looking clothes as this item makes them new. I think this is a fab price for this item.

We often have a lot of condensation in our conservatory and we have found these bags to help the condensation out there. They are a great price and a handy item to have if you have condensation around the home.

10 magic eraser sponges - £3.45 with free delivery
The magic erasers are fab. Maxwell has the odd accident around the house with a pen and I find that these sponges are fab to get pen off household items, off walls and in general are great at getting rid of hard stubborn stains.

Do you enjoy doing a new year clean? What are your top cleaning items that cost under £5?
