My Money Supermarket Challenge!

Last week, Money Supermarket gave me £30 to spend in whichever way I wanted to on a charity of my choice. I chose the charity Post Pals because I recently did a Sponsored Silence for them and I believe in the work that they do.
Once I had recieved my £30 I headed over to the Post Pals website to see which of the pals I would do some shopping for! I chose 
Sapphire B and Anna-Mae C.
I read their likes and then went into York and Selby to buy them a selection of gifts to send to their Post Pals addresses.
(I can't find the reciepts so I'm afraid I can't tell you how much everything was)
These are the shops I went to:

1) Superdrug
I bought them each a body spray. I bought red for Anna-Mae as it is her favourite colour and then pink for Sapphire as that is hers.

2) Card Factory
From here I bought Sapphire a manicure set because her profile told me that she likes doing her nails. I bought Anna-Mae a hanging heart with the quote "Go where your heart takes you" on it.. pretty much because I thought it was cute :)

3) Zest
I bought each of the girls a lipstick, a concealer and an eyeliner because they both like makeup and those are sort of my makeup essentials.

4) Home Bargains
I bought Sapphire some nail wraps and I bought each of the girls a One Direction lolly which both come with 5 One Direction stickers.

5) H&M
From H&M I bought Sapphire a necklace with letters on it to spell "PARIS".

6) Morrisons
I bought both of the girls a Disney pen each (I now wish I'd bought myself one too :/), a duck shaped pencil sharpener each (a yellow one for Anna-Mae and a pink one for Sapphire) and a set of sticky notes in the shape of a heart.

7) Hawkins Bazaar
I bought Anna-Mae a mini kit to make your own paper animal (I thought this was really cool so I couldn't just leave it behind!). I then bought both of them a gomu eraser (that you put together yourself) and a mini puzzle each for if they are bored on a trip to the hospital.

Finally, as I buy lots of things in bulk, I have for them both, a packet of Simpsons tissues and a sheet of moustache tattoos.

To accompany the gifts, I have written each of the girls a letter :)

As I said, I have misplaced half of the reciepts but from the rest of the change I had left I calculated my total spend to be (approximately) £28.43!
I really have enjoyed this challenge and I hope that it manages to put some smiles on two girls faces!My next mission is to go to the post office and send them off :)

Tata! xxxxxxxx
