    I've always given the kids PJ's on Christmas eve and we've always put out reindeer sparkly bits, carrots, water, mince pies and orange juice (well sc is driving a sleig after all!!) but this year think I might add snowman soup, chocs or biccies and some bath bits!! Would add a dvd but will want to watch it before 24th!!

    Thanks for ideas/piccies xxx

    It's in a black binbag in the garage, high up away from little hands and eyes ;)

    Thank you so much for your very kind comments :o

    Do you all have the hamper delivered or do you give it to them? Usually our doorbell rings and the parcel is left on the doorstep --quickly followed by my dh who is hiding somewhere!!

    Hadn't thought of that............but mine's for baby grandson so I'll leave it to his Mum and Dad to decide how they do it. He'll only be 18 months old so don't suppose will be that aware of whats going on.

    OH just suggested I get a star and put it in the christmas eve box.......one that will hang in the window to show Santa the way.......what do you think ?

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    I love the star idea too Mary, really lovely!

    I was going to leave the basket of goodies on the coffee table for my two to find Xmas Eve morning and say it just appeared. I've put a letter in from Santa for each of them.
