One of Tesco's cuddly penguins - this is the large but they have much smaller ones:
You can probably get penguin shaped chocs at this time of year, tree decoration ones?

Oh the irony! Just been to Asda to get the items for my "Tea for Two" tray that Im doing(see previous posts) Well I was so pleased........I got Assam tea for £1, a lovely mini panettone for £1 and two mugs. I also got lots of chocs in the reduced bit, I'll wrap them up in nice cello and bows. Felt very smug, then got home and dropped the bl**y mugs on the path and broke them! Thought I'd givE you all a chuckle at that! So much for money saving!!
Also spotted Asda Smart Price wicker baskets, £8 for three, they're quite big, so I thought Id pass it on.
Are you going to call it "Tea" now jinty? :rotfl: (Sorry, couldn't resist- but it's annoying isn't it? I'd rather give something away than break it
)

In a shoe box? You're organised
I'd love to do a sock monkey too, but even though rainmac kindly started me off with help in making a cross-stitch coaster, I still can't understand the instructions!:rotfl:

I'm doing a chocolate hamper for the chocoholic I got for secret santa, put my Avon order in yesterday and ordered some White Chocolate Latte bubble bath to go in it. Have just checked online and its out of stock - do not reorder! Will have to try and find something similar elsewhere. Anybody seen anything on their travels?
I'm in the South, so don't have an HB. Would really have to be from Boots, Poundland, 99p shop (new in town - hurray!) or Wilkos

Just dont let any babies near them! I bought some after xmas a few years back (reduced of course.;) ) and stupidly left them on the side within grabbing reach of my 8 month old son in his highchair. Came in after doing something in the kitchen and the little monkey had demolished the lot of them.:eek: He didnt even have any teeth yet!:eek: There was chocolate and coffee beans everywhere.:rotfl:

Ive come to a bit of a halt with my baskets as I cant afford the cellophane!:eek: Will have to wrap them in wrapping paper grrr! A few will look silly wrapped in wrapping paper but cant help it. Does anyone know any shops that sell cellophane as i may be able to get some when oh gets paid on 23rd? I know florists usually do but theres only one near here i can think of and i wont be able to get to it. (as oh working and only he drives and the florists not in town where ill be going shopping)'They only had one cow!'0
