Freakie offerings
Any site that passes itself off as 'alternative' should come with a dodgy-gear-sold-here warning plastered all over it. But not so alt-gifts. The lifebyte team were surprisingly impressed by this well-stocked domain and all the alternative gifts it had to offer. Top of the charts has to be the portable candy-floss maker, battery operated, and only £34. Add vodka to it and create superb floss with a kick. Spend £30+ and you receive a top-notch glow-in-the-dark beer glass . Brilliant.

Freebie: glow-in-the-dark glass worth £4.99 when you spend £30+
Delivery time: 2-3 days
Payment method: Switch, Delta, Solo, Visa, MasterCard

Presents for blokes
This site keeps very quiet about exactly what free gift you receive when you place an order with them. But that didn't put us off. With over 650 gifts to choose from it was quite tricky deciding which ashtray, lighter, pen-knife, board game, handcuffs(!), compass, torch, calculator... Dad would like. In the end lifebyte settled on a fancy ashtray and waited in anticipation for it, and the mystery gift, to arrive.

The last resort
For those of you who a) are penniless, b) admire Ebenezer Scrooge's way with money or c) have a rather annoying extended family who aren't worth wasting your hard-earned money on, this site is all your Christmas' come early. Here everything is free and with a bit of ingenuity you can bundle a selection of toiletry samples together and hey presto a beautifull travel-sized gift. Cunning, eh? We spent a thrilling hour filling in the necessary forms and questionnaires and the samples are yet to turn up but if they do...

Freebies: everything!
Payment method: doh, stupid
Delivery: slow
