HATE shopping for presents? Don't have cash to spend? That's okay because the ever helpful internet is here to save the day and help you spend ... as little as possible.

From Russian lessons, to drawings and having your name is 3D, there really is a special something for everyone - and it will only set you back a fiver.

And if you're willing to dig a little deeper in your wallet you can always get a raft of other gift ideas such as learning how to get the girl of your dreams.

Or how about getting your portrait drawn up for less than a twenty?

Still doesn't take your fancy? Then check out these little beauties from Fiverr, where you can pretty much get anything for, well, a fiver.
