yes 3 :rolleyes: the NUFC footy one from the kiddies, a marmite one from me and then thought about this movie night one! ... I am sorted for OH ... just need to work my extra shift next tuesday to put an extra £20 to his cash so he can book his motorbike course

Hadn't thought of a bowl ... I wonder if bought box of popcorn would be better than the microwaveable ones ... now you have me thinking again I think I need to go shopping again what a damn shame!

I've got some kiddies coming round next week on Tuesday for a Xmas party. I've been buying on ebay today and have ordered snowman paper plates, cups and napkins, a pin the nose on the snowman game, xmas balloons and a few other bits that we don't really need but will add to the festive feel!!! I just hope it all arrives on time :rolleyes:.

Also going to do Xmas party bags. What could I add in the bags for little ones? I've got 4 under 2's. Have got little Xmas board books (was pressie for mine last year and I put them away thinking I could use them this year ), little choccie bars (1 each), small crackers, gingerbread hearts that I'm going to ice their names on (for their Xmas tree at home) and reindeer food. I want to add one more thing as I've got a bit more for the older kiddies but can't think what I could add??? All ideas will be gratefully received!!!

Anyone else manage to 'lose' things around now ? Yesterday I couldn't find the christmas card holders............this morning I found them but as for the christmas cellophane - well, seems to have done a vanishing act so OH is having to get me some more !!
Bet your life then I'll find it.....................:rotfl:

Yep me too, I've lost a game I bought for DS1. I did however lose the Jenga game I bought for him last year and have found it in time for this Xmas Maybe the one I' ve lost this year will turn up next year...

YES:rotfl: I have 'put' the googly eyes for my reindeer somewhere and can't find them. Might have to borrow the ones from the reindeer I made for the boys:rotfl:

If I had any left you could have had them but I've used all mine now, sorry.

Instead of calling your boy's ones reindeer maybe you could call them 'noeyedeer'. Rubbish joke I know :rotfl:

Popcorn Ceramic Pot (hidden inside) Free
Wine £2.50 (from 4 for £5 deal)
Lager £2.40

I love how you folded the £10 note. How did you do it?

I am so inspired by all the lovely hampers on here and so I am doing a movie hamper for my sister and BIL and their 3 children.

I would like to put a little rhyme on the gift card but I'm afraid I am not very talented in the poetry department!

Has anyone used a rhyme or poem for their movie hamper that I could pinch pleae?!

Many thanks

Try following these instructions:
http://art-smart.ci.manchester.ct.us/how_to/how_to_hi_shirt.html

or have a look on youtube for folding paper shirts. Just swap the paper for a tenner/ fiver/ twenty pound note!

I love the folded tenner Kandipandi - brilliant idea will pinch that if you don't mind.

I've made up a Christmas Eve Hamper for a friend in work and took it in today and was really shocked at how good the response is.
Ended up agreeing to making another Xmas Eve hamper for another colleague and I haven't done my own children's yet bless them.


This hamper contains a snowman tray for Santa's mince pies, pair of pj's, Gruffalo book, Thornton's chocolates, Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas DVD, Magical Reindeer Food and Snowman soup.
