You can however add topup money on top of the goodie bag before it expires
(although obviously those prices are a bit higher in the long run).

Also two things to note about giffgaff: - You
can't surcharge goodybags on
top of each other. (If you use up a goodybag before its expiry date, you
aren't allowed to buy another one until the original expiry date. So always
buy one that has more allowance than you need, except...)
- The £10 goodybag comes with 1GB of mobile data which allows tethering,
but the more expensive goodybags with unlimited data disallow tethering
altogether (rather than limiting your speed).
