Organised Christmas 2008.. The countdown has begun!

Dunno if I'm putting this in the right place or not but here goes.

I am looking for gift boxes for 2 presents does anyone know where I can get them please without buying big packs of them, none of the local card/gift shops can help and we don't have a craft shop local that does them.

I need
1, 8 x 8 1.5 inches - for a male adult
1, 8 x 5 x5 inches - for a female adult


All ideas will be gratefully recieved

Well , i have printed off most of the christmas planner sheets , just got to go and get a folder to put it all in,
i didnt do any of the cleaning print off's as my hubby does all the cleaning ! lol.

i am off to town in a bit to see what goodies i can see, my post office christmas savings card does not activate until 31st so no spending until then.

thanks everyone for all the advice and tips and hopefully i can add some too!

I think they are great! They are soooo cute, your kids will love them, well done x :santa2:

Thanks so much, I'm sure my kids will love them, they are both Dr Who Mad, I just always feel that anything I make never looks like the picture LOL...same with cooking it never looks like the pic in the book.

Thanks for your kind word.

afternoon all,

pinkladymel- thanks for the secret santa idea- never thought of doing that at all ( but thats what we do at work). Real good suggestion then at least we have something to open.

brideonabudget- i think your son is great saving his money. i have always tried to get mine to save for everything, my daughter does but my son...????? At christmas i usually make mince pies and sausage/cheese rolls and freeze loads. you can freeze them cooked or ready to bake. then if i get visitors or on xmas day i just pop them in the oven for a while and they smell and taste great warm.
can you tell me please what is a post office xmas saving card- never heard of that?

kalojac- sounds like you are in for a busy week off.

Just been in to town and oh the joys ...sad though i am ...i have just returned with the xmas gift brochures from various shops(boots etc). love to browse (dont buy many things) but makes xmas feel nearer when they are out.ohhhhhhhh.
