Op shop stuff?
If you are going to the $2 shop for a $1 present you are in for a world of disappointment… lol
Why not buy a $1 Scratch Ticket and be done with it?
Or make an anon. donation to the Festivus fund.
1 dollar scratches have 10 cent tax, 1.1 dollar :(
Aldi trolley token?
A Potato
Or a carrot
I think you can buy a bag of carrot, or maybe an organic carrot for a dollar?
Spudshed in WA had 9c/kg unwashed potatoes some time this year - equates to 11kg for $1!!
A couple of lollies that have been around for a while and someone will remember from childhood (ie fads/fags, redskins, pop rocks, fizzers etc)
Search ebay for the $1 buy it now items. You will likely be surprised at the wide selection.
How exactly do you do that?
Just search "new" and then sort by price + postage lowest to high and find the $1
You want to select "worldwide" and "Buy it Now" as well.
Other good terms are pcs and numbers
The question is: Will it arrive before x'mas?
tmart…
but it might not arrive in time.
You can get pretty good packets of lollies at K-mart for $1. There's this awesome party mix of fruit filled with sherbets and sherbet sticks etc
You might wanna try Dx.com and check there $1 section.
He said before Christmas!
and Dx.com!
Council clean ups, local tip, skip bins. Save your $1.00.
OzBargainer of the year.
go to aldi, and get a big box
then get 1 dollar worth of wrapping and warp that box up :)Give them a $1 coin
For an even better value present give them a $1 note! I know I've still got one.. somewhere
For the kids watching at home

Take a few Bics from your desk.. worth about a dollar. and best thing, you're not paying for it!!
100 x 1c coins
A flourescent tube (from work of course)
Kmart has $1 bubble mega bubble wand
http://www.kmart.com.au/product/mega-bubble-wand/122276My 2 year old loves them, maybe older people would enjoy too, rated for 3 years+ that suits pretty much everyone
Those bubble wands are great for cheap fun throwaway presents. I wish somebody would buy me one!
if you're creative enough, you can even make a chupa chups flower with clear wrapping and some ribbon.
Make a drink coaster from 20 x 5c coins.
The superglue may cost more though.0.00167 bit coins. ( or there abouts)
Good for 16.7 transaction fees.
A couple of good ideas here :) don't know if they would like an organic carrot..
I bought a $1 scratchie, couldnt get a price match at officeworks cos the serial number was different.
Now I need to get another one for the wife to bring. Quite like the mega bubble wand or the chupa chups flower idea.
Any more ideas? Xmas party is in a months time, wonder if ebay or tmart worth a shot?
You'll be kicking yourself if that scratchie is a winner!
Yeah, scratch it yourself first. Then give it to them.
Or buy the 'joke' scratchies on ebay, they're always a winner.
Dupe comment
got another job
$1 Kit-Kat. Might win something (playstore credit). If not, someone is already a winner with a Kit-Kat. Yum! :)
Or are they not doing that promotion, anymore? :/
Chuppa Chups. you can get 10 for $1 at coles now
Condom
Condom
New or Used ?
Depends on person ;). Could give them a sign that you wanna play or give them used if not a big fan of them.
Typed Christmas into Ebay to see what itd come up with. Geez its surprising what you can get for 1c with free shipping.. 18 carat gold bracelets for 1c with free shipping etc etc.. mental, thats heaps cheap, you could get like 100 of them, if you wanted
http://www.ebay.com.au/dsc/i.html?_sop=15&_from=R40&_sacat=0…
Those are all auctions starting at 1c, also theyre gold plated = costume jewelery = worths nothing.
Ok so a non auction buy it now search came up with:
http://www.ebay.com.au/dsc/i.html?_sadis=200&LH_BIN=1&LH_SAL…
Theres a few decent things for $1 with free shipping, was really surprised
$1 coin and a punch in the nose.
Roll up 20 x 5c coins in a sock and wack them in the nose
How about this for 61 cents? Surely anyone could do with some high precision tweezers ;)
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/123714Edit: Might not get delivered in time though
only an idiot would buy those.
Buy a 3 pack of sock for $2 and keep 2 of them for your self
A nice pen from Officeworks and you could buy a little cheap notepad to go with it
pen: http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Office-Supplie…
notepad: http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Office-Supplie…
5 x 20c coins with a note specifically instructing them to buy gumballs from a gumball machine. It is cool watching them roll down the spiral slide.
Did you get that $1 off condom voucher op?
McDonalds Apple Pie
Or Maccas cookies
funniest thread ever I love these ideas lol
Nothing to add tho….. but when I think what would I like for $1?? Continental Cup A Soup when theyre on sale! lol
I think I saw somewhere there was a large pack of Paracetamol on sale at Priceline for 99cents.
shopping bag and $1 worth of petrol. Need I say more?
10 chupa chups from Coles!!
Buy a 20 Dollar Gift card and spend 19!
frozen coke from hj's on the way to the party
Snickers bar FTW!!!
after giving it and them taking a bite you're also given the opportunity to ask them."Better?"
We're also having this as well, except it's $10. I don't know what to give… I thought about buying all of the chocolate cake ingredients and wrapping that up… any other ideas?
$1 Twinings tea when on special?
