Christmas doesn’t have to cost a fortune. 5pm’s Christmas gifts page has lots of great ideas for generous presents that won’t break the bank.

Here are five gift ideas for under £50.

Alla Turca

While eating too much Turkey is always a risk at Christmas, one can never eat too much Turkish food.

You can explore the glories of Turkey’s table with Alla Turca’s Christmas Big Deal. At £9.95 per person for three courses and a Champagne cocktail, it is something of a steal.

The Pitt Street restaurant has long been a hit with 5pm Dining customers. At the time of writing, just under 900 customers have given Alla Turca a combined score of 4.1/5.

The dishes served at Alla Turca are perfect for winter.

A melon, feta cheese and mint salad is just the sort of sunny dish that will brighten up a dull winter day.

Sculptur

In Glasgow’s West End, the three Sculptur salons are offering a Christmas Big Deal on a cut, style and finish.

The award-winning salons take a huge amount of pride in carefully consulting with their clients to ensure they get the look they want.

£18 will buy a voucher for a cut, style and finish while £38 will buy a voucher for a colour treatment, cut, finish and take home conditioner.

Both vouchers also give the holder a free weekend pass for the leisure facilities at the David Lloyd Centre, Anniesland.

This weekend pass includes use of the gym, swimming pool and Celsius Spa; racquet sports, extensive exercise classes and the full kids’ programme worth £60.

Viva Ristorante

If you have friends who like Italian food then they will love the Christmas Big Deal from Viva Ristorante on Glasgow’s Bothwell Street.

For £10, two people can have a pizza or pasta dish each from the a la carte menu at this popular, city centre restaurant.

There are some eighteen different pizza and more than twenty pastas to choose from.

A plate of spaghetti carbonara or a punchy puttanesca pizza will always make for welcome presents.

Glow Skin Centre and Tanning Salon

While the weather has been unusually mild so far this year, it can only be a matter of time before the wind gets up and the temperature goes down.

Happily, Glow Skin Centre & Tanning Salon are offering a winter warmer massage to help fight the chill.

This £15 Big Deal is for your choice of massage from fully qualified sports therapist, Jemma McKirdie.

The Big Deal is for a fifteen minute consultation and then a 45 minute massage of your choice in the softly lit massage room.

Whether you want a relaxing aromatherapy massage; a deeper Swedish tissue massage to deal with recalcitrant muscles or a sports therapy massage to help get to grips with specific problems, Jemma knows how to knead all the right places.

This Big Deal is the perfect stress-busting present – ideal for the Mum who wants a little pampering after a hectic Christmas.

Sphereing with Action Adventure Activities

Finally, we present a Christmas Big Deal for a sphereing experience with Action Adventure Activities, near Stirling.

If you have a friend or family member that you would like to see rolled down a hill this sphereing experience has got their name on it.

Perfect for a teenager, participants are strapped inside a giant inflatable rubber ball which is then rolled down a course.

Hamsters have been doing it for years and we don’t see why they should get have all the fun.

The offer is £27 for two people to each have two downhill runs. Each run lasts approximately 20-30 seconds.

Participants may laugh. They may scream. They certainly won’t forget their experience.
