Christmas on a budget
Hi everyone Not sure there is another thread like this (had a look but couldn't see any) but what I thought is to create this thread to give everyone an idea of what to buy for Christmas for the loved ones, not to break the bank and also grab some bargains. So if you would like to share what are you buying as presents for…

Gift sites
Just thought I'd share this website, I discovered after searching for a particular product. It's http://www.presentsformen.co.uk. Don't let the name fool you. It's not just for men. It' amazing that if I search for gifts, I get the usual 'findmeagift','presentfinder', and other popular ones, which offer very similar gifts.…

Christmas Tree Globe Lights (looking for)
Hello, this is a bit of a long shot, but I'm looking to replace some Christmas lights which sadly I no longer have (left abroad when I lived there). I originally bought them from Lakeland, must be about 15 years ago. They were a set of about a dozen globe lights for the tree - each one was painted in a different design,…

Chocolate sprouts, can you get them online?
Hi, I really want to buy these for my mum but am housebound and can only see them in store. Not on the high street do a version but at an astronomical cost. Has anyone seen them online somewhere? http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/fun-win/galleries/35059/12-amazing-christmas-novelty-food-ideas/3 :xmastree:

where do I get £10 Million liability insurance??
We are getting married next year and are now having a problem trying to find liability insurance. As the wedding is in a museum we have to have liability insurance of £10 million , which I think is a little excessive. I can find insurance quotes for up to 5 million but this is still not enough. Does anybody have any…

Thinking of Giving A Stobart Club Membership for Christmas? A Word to the Wise...
Hi folks, Not at all sure which folder this belongs in but, since it's vaguely Christmas present-related here's as good as anywhere. Like thousands of others, my good lady and I relieve the monotony of long distance travel by "Eddie spotting". Last Christmas, I thought it would bring a smile to her face if I put a Stobart…

Is this a good idea for a hamper present?
Hi all, Il try and get straight to the point. I don't have much to do with my dad but I always go and see him at christmas with a present. He's in his late 50s and was laid off as a builder a few years ago, now finding it hard to find work because of his age. I know he is really struggling financially and has a lot of…

Who's doing the Elf thing this year?
Hi everyone I have logged on looking for the Elf-related chat which I have enjoyed in previous years. Is there already a thread on it? I am about to order some little bits and bobs which our "elf" (Jingle the reindeer with magnetic legs) can start using come 1 December. Last year I found a great product which is a sachet…

Cost vs value
Hi there We have a price limit of £40 per adult for Christmas. However, I have managed to bag a bargain and get an item at the third of it's store value, therefore being well within budget. I feel like I'm in a bit of a strange pickle this year though - do you think the £40 limit should be based on the price paid for an…

Jigsaw roll or portapuzzle?
Hi, I'm thinking of getting some kind of jigsaw saver. I've seen ones that roll up and they are a lot less than the big board ones which fold up. Obviously the roll up ones take up less space too. I was wondering if anyone has used them and which you would opt for? Thanks :T

Alternative Christmas Cake ideas?
Every year my mum makes Christmas cakes for everyone in the family, as well as several friends and neighbours. It must cost her a fortune in dried fruit and takes her weeks to soak the fruit, bake all the cakes, and decorate them. She doesn't even like Christmas cake though so doesn't get to enjoy the end product, so this…
