Wilkinsons have a lovely range of baskets for kids/adults.

Also the tea bag plate shown in savingmoney19s hamper was (im pretty sure) from wilko's under £1.00 , plastic , a few different colours!

Yes, Shaun is fine now lol!!

I went to Matalan with my Mum in Malvern on Fri (unfortunately they were sold out of those lovely colourful chalk board boxes) and finished almost all my shopping - yay!! It's at an out of town retail park, and there was an Instore there too..So I was really chuffed! I was sooooooo exhausted tho Fri night. And we had lunch with 24 people at the Angel Chef yesterday!! They were the visitors - none staying at ours thank God - all ex pupils of Shaun's and their husbands and children. Then we went to a new Playcentre in town - so you can imagine how I felt last night! Realised I have been overdoing it, but glad to have got so much done too.

Am putting together my first hamper today - a Fair Trade Food one for the outlaws from the children. They always ask us to buy them a cow!!!

And - found the Advent Calendar last night!! Yay!! :T

looking forward to seeing a pic of your fairtrade hamper. I started off doing a fairtrade/recycled hamper for my Dad but it now seems to be a mixture of lots of things!

glad you found the advent calendar:T

Wow busy, busy, busy but well done on getting so much done :T I'm so happy that I've done nearly all my Xmas shopping so I don't have to wrestle my way through the crowds in December buying whatever I can find. We went to London yesterday on the train and blimey it was busy! We took the boys to Hamleys and then to the Natural History Museum and then had dinner in Chinatown. We didn't get back home until midnight, we're all very tired today but had a lovely day

I need to find the boys' advent calendars today - haven't got a clue where I've put them...

Hi everyone

Have started a new basket for my eldest daughter and going to do her a drink related one as I want to try out the flavoured vodkas for her. I have copied down some cocktail recipes and will have a look for some bits to go with cocktails. I am looking for some vodka chocolates. I have had a look around all the local shops but havent seen any this year, plenty of other alchoholic ones but not vodka. Has anyone seen any please?

I saw some vodka chocs in the 99p shop and also TJ Hughes. 99p shop was obviously cheaper, but only had plain or cranberry (yum!), TJ Hughes had a lemon lime one too, but I think they were £1.99. Also Home bargains if you have a branch near you. 59p there, I think.
