A New Baby hamper (baby was due in December, hence the christmas bits)



Everything is packed into a baby bath - there are -

Small Changing bag with mat, packed with;
Nature Baby nappy sacks and wipes
Green People baby gift pack
Small baby hat
Small fabric drawstring bag
Cream fleece car-seat blanket
Teether
WTP 0+mths dummies
Father Christmas (from birth) soft toy
Christmas Bib
Room temperature Thermometer

Then there is;
WTP Gift basket (3-6mths)
Zorbit cuddle robe
Traditional baby shawl
Soft Toy Cow
First Book Of Fairy Tales

Haynes Baby Manual and bottle of beer for Dad
Box of chocs, small bottle wine and a £10 M&S voucher for Mum

And, padding the bottom of the bath out, is another pack of 3-6 months vests, sleepsuits and bibs

Lots of freebies, discount codes, sale shopping etc (had plenty of time to get it all together), so the overall cash cost was just under £25 with a rrp value of well over £150 :eek:

Last Christmas





The container is an AWT self-basting roaster, and along with the bits you can see (2 books, an apron, oven mitt and pan-holder set, the unazukin and the oils/biscuits/panettonnes), there are also a couple of christmassy tea towels in the base of the roaster. Managed to put it together for less than a quarter of the rrp


This one was based around the coffee machine (which was free), there's three types of coffee in small trial sachets, various biscuits and cake, a chutney, a marmalade whisky, raspberry and port coulis, a christmassy teatowel, unazukin, scented candle and Lilliput Lane tree decoration - overall it cost approx £21 (about a third of rrp)




The next two are basically the same - christmas teatowel lining the base, biscuits, two jams, shortbread, panettonne, unazukin and Lilliput Lane, but the first has a Laura Ashley throw and a small christmas pudding, and the second a 'tea for two' set and small christmas cake. Both came in at around £17 (just under half rrp)




(this one was photographed half wrapped as I almost forgot)





This one had an M&S pasta dish/oil drizzler set as the base, along with a christmas apron and pan holder set, and everything else you can see, and cost about £16 (one third rrp)

They're called Unazukin, or yes/no dolls. They're normally about £5 a piece, but Home Bargains had them in about this time last year for 49p each, so of course everyone got one last christmas
