thumperandbambi - I have some jack daniels branded ice cube bags that you are most welcome to have - pm me your addy if would, and I'll send them on. Other than that, I've seen JD stuff in Woolworths and possibly sweets in Sainsburys. Get yourself signed up to the JD mailing list - they send lots of goodies - you may get something in time

hth!

That DVD birthday hamper would be my idea of heaven, I know its such a simple thing but i think the idea is lovely I know I would adore one (especially the magners!!). Im going to make one for my Bro and SIL for christmas, but not sure what films they have so was planning on getting them a gift card or a voucher type thing so they can chose thier own movie - or a DVD box with £15 in and a note to say buy youself a film - what do you think i should do?

I like the idea because for not much more than the cost of the DVD you can present it so much better than just wrapping the DVD in some paper. And I was really chuffed with how well it was received.

I think perhaps a voucher or gift card might be nicer than the box with the note in. It's more gifty (made that word up:rolleyes::D) imo. But that's just me. And maybe someone with a bit more imagination will be along soon!!!

Aww thanks, have got the ice cube bags and the luggage tag through the mailing list, pretty good for freebies!!! Will have a look in Sainsburys as the sweets sound ideal, thanks!!

Great thread! My wife is really into making her own stuff for gifts. Not sure she's made her own hampers yet but I'll point her at this thread!

Hiya - I don't have a photo of the DVD hamper I made for a girls night in hamper, but here is a picture I made to slip inside the sleeve a blank DVD box, and then put a gift card inside:



Hope that's helpful - it was really easy to do with Google images and Paint!

I am not putting you to shame :rotfl: If you had seen my wardrobe which was bare ... I had no clothes to wear today so didn't have a lot of choice, plus OH needed shirts ironing ... the kiddies had clothes as did OH, but he had no work shirts ... I hate loathe and detest ironing :mad: but needs must and all that.

OH is in the dog house ... he finished work early to go to a funeral of some bloke he used to work for when he was a teenaged (he aint seen him since) :rolleyes: he told me he would be home for teatime knowing my gran and auntie were coming for tea and he is still out now ... He hasn't even text to let me know. My gran and auntie have now gone back to their hotel and I have just put two unhappy kids to bed cause they were waiting for their daddy to come home ... whats the betting he now makes the excuse that he can't finish early on friday to look after the children so I can go to court :rolleyes:

I have still not done the ironing :rolleyes: but I have hoovered today Just hoovered around the ironing board that I got out yesterday

What are blokes like ehh! My OH had a day off work on Monday, I took DS1 to school as normal then went to Tesco, Hobbycraft, post office and somewhere else I can't remember, got home to find the kitchen still in the state I had left it in - i.e. breakfast stuff everywhere. I said "did you not feel like clearing up?". He said "it's my day off" :wall:
