A gift for the Taskmaster
- In this task the contestants are usually given a fixed amount of money and have an extended period between receipt of the task brief and the filming of the studio segments to purchase a suitable gift for the Taskmaster.
- However, in one instance, the contestants are given a budget for supplies, which they must then use to make a gift for the Taskmaster, at the Taskmaster house.
- The gifts are presented to the Taskmaster in the studio, and points are awarded based on which ones they like the most.
