    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

    Thanks girls x

    Rather than smellys and such like why not do a chocky hamper but with chocky ... I did cadburys, have done 3 in total, one for my sis and her bubby, one for my OH and one to share between my 2 children

    thanks Lillian I should have said it does have a cuddly penguin in pack. That one is sooo.... cute though I will have to get Happy Feet he loves a good animation.

    Ahh I see. Def get Happy Feet, it's absolutely brilliant :)

    How about some Penguins?!

    Some Penguin classics books?!

    Some of them are only £1 on Amazon/Play etc and they have some good titles like Frankenstein and Dracula! Perhaps that's a bit of a stretch from the penguin theme!

    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) :)

    I asked in Clinton cards if they sold cello by the roll but they didn't but could sell it by the meter - they keep it at the till point - was about 80p a meter.

  • Hi all,
    I've been googling for the last 53 mins and your now my last hope - have already rang my mum and dad - no joy there.

    I'm looking for the name of a film. Can't remember the name of it, think its a late 50's 60's film - black and white.

    Plotline - bloke kidnaps another bloke (I think his a love rival) locks him away chained up in a dingy basement. Guy can only move about so far - think that there is a line marked on the floor. Kidnapper plans to dissolve his body in a bath of acid. Dog involved somewhere, can't quite remember that bit.

    Not alot to go on but I'm sure MIL & I can't of been the only ones to see it, lol.

    Many thanks

    P.S If I find it on dvd it's going in MIL hamper :T

    Thanks Rusty. It already has quite a lot of Cadbury's chocolate in it. Also a two foot high 'chocolate moose' £1 from charity shop, a mug with hot chocolate sachets, a chocolate santa and some santa lollies! Just wanted to add some chocolate smellies as well. Will probably look in Wilkinsons for the chocolate bubble bath and possibly the face masks. Thanks a lot everyone. I promise I will post pictures when all my hampers are done.

    Is the movie called Obsession?
