    Christmas is a season of festive decorations, Christmas trees, stockings hung by the fireplace laden with gifts and the indubitable task of buying gifts. The much awaited and anticipated Christmas gift comes in a box or a bag containing an item that may or may not be appreciated.

    Just thought I would share this with you..... I have just finished a hamper for my brother & sister in law with an italian theme. I've been buying whilst i've been doing my weekly shop over the last few weeks & haven't noticed much difference to my bill.

    I have included:

    Bottle of Italian Red Wine
    3 Tenors CD (cheap one from play.com) :rotfl:
    Pasta
    Pasta Sauce
    Anti pasta
    Bruscetta
    Olive Oil
    Ameratto Biscuits
    Chocolates

    I got an empty paper box from work & wrapped it & put the items in with shiny shredded tinsel (type stuff LOL)

    I am dead proud of it - thanks for the inspiration I'd never thought of doing anything like that until I joined x

    Merry Christmas

    I have started shopping for christmas already :D
    I picked up 5 baskets at 99p each from wilkinsons plus some bath bombs/fizzies, face packs. went into poundland and got some body sprays and other bits from there.

    I am determined to have christmas well and truly sorted by October at the latest this year :D
    If everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride then we'd see the day when nobody died.
    ROCK IT DON'T STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    BE GOOD OR BE GOOD AT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What's worth the prize is always worth the fight

    Hi

    Lakeland has these traditional wicker baskets at half price at the moment - I've just ordered a load for my Christmas 'goodies' hampers.

    Went into Asda today and they were selling really gorgeous lunch tins. They are pink with stars and on the front is an adorable picture of a labrador and kitten. They were 75P so I grabbed 6 and am going to fill them with beauty products/girlie baby things/home made cards all surrounded with tissue for Xmas presents and new baby presents After they have used the filling the metal case will make a super treasure chest for letters or momentos
    Try and do a good deed every day.
