    Ok you guys! I need your help, Im going to inlaws on Christmas day and have got all my baskets and gifts done. Well, whaddayaknow, there's another couple going to be there and Id like to give them a little something. They dont drink alcohol, and Im a bit brain dead so Im looking for a bit of inspiration! They're in their late sixties/ early seventies. I have made my own fudge and shortbread, but what to go along with? Help pls! Not too dear either( surprise)Thanks!!

    If you have made your own shortbread and fudge how about adding some tea and coffee? you can pick up proper coffee in aldi for £1.39 and then get some earl grey? maybe a couple of cheap cups and it can become a tea break hamper :)

    I'd forgotten how hard it was to wrap round hat boxes :o so I've left that for now ;) I think it came in at under £15.

    TLP - lovely basket and great budgeting skills :)

    anybunny - Had to zoom right in to see it, but having seen it I'm sure your sister will love it. I would :)

    Oh my, I'd love to recieve this, it is beautiful passion, well done :T

    Own fudge and shortbread - sounds a perfect gift to be as is ;) Rusty's ideas of adding tea and/or coffee and/or mugs is brill. Asda sell plain white mugs for 25p, M&S do coloured plain ones for 50p, Poundstrecther do Xmas ones for 59p.
