I know more people that have upcoming birthdays just around the corner, unfortunately it is also this time of year I end up being more strapped for cash than during the festive season. Most likely because I am spending more on clothes, holidays, filling up the Car's fuel tank - (More road trips I guess!)
Thanks to the wondrous invention of the Internet; I know I can use some spare time to research for potential gifts, Most of these products; which will be listed from UK retailers within their summer sale lines.

| Indian Bling Notebook and Pen @ Accessorize.com |
This dinky notebook and pen set currently retails for £3.00 within the sale. This is small enough to be used as tokens in gift bags or even a last minute purchase for a distant friend or relative.
Novelty gifts come in handy at this time of year - from a flying remote controlled helicopter to a mini cooler fridge; gadgets and gizmo's come in all shapes and sizes and mobile gadgets specifically where you can take them on the go are great for long car journeys or just to pass the time at sunny barbeque's and picnics in the park.

| Good Times The Film Buff's Guide - Movie Night @ Argos.co.uk retailed at £9.99 |
Save money - Buy as a group!
One other suggestion could be to gather around 2-4 people and maybe decide to purchase one large gift or a few small ones but inevitably the total cost will be split amongst yourselves. Its a good idea not to have too many people within the group even though individual burden costs maybe low; it could potentially lead to conflicts and delaying on the actual present which will be later gifted to your 'Birthday friend'. Another option; along the lines of cost sharing could be a secret Santa; where you could write down different themes of the present e.g. joke/ chocolates/ luxury/food/useful+practical: therefore the person whom selects the item will be responsible for purchasing it
