stuck for a cheap,but lovely birthday pressie try this!! :

I found this great idea in my book called Making Stuff:The Alternative Craft Book, published by Black dog. Its a great book for anyone that gets inspired by making eco friendly craft objects, for in and around the house! This particular idea is called Chai Bath Teabags.They are basically teabags you make full of lovely smelling salts and spices that make your bath smell lovely, and your love for tea goes a step further!! hah.
I'd say they would be perfect for a friend, or Mothers Day pressie!!I'm not sure if its really a guy thing, but how knows some might just love it!

For those that can't read my hand writing here is the ingredients again:!
*stapler
*glue
*3 tbsp loose green tea
*1 tbsp ginger            
*1 tbsp cinnamon
*1 tsp cardamom
*1 tsp cloves
*Remnant of white cotton fabric - try using an old (but clean)pillowcase
*White string
* Colourful felt squares
* Old tea box or tin

Please note this is what the book ingredients says so if you don't for instance have an old pillowcase, use a scrap of fabric - charity shops always have some sort of old cloth etc. etc!! ok.

All you need do now is add the ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, loose green tea all together, then pile it into the cloth. Stitch together into a teabag shape, and hay presto your pressie is all made!!*note* for extra cuteness you can cut out some little felt heart shapes and sew/staple them on the end of the teabag!!like this:
