I am picking up a secret santa present for a friend who's having some problems at the moment (so he's not in the mood for presents), he needs to buy for a lady who likes gardening, dogs, films... she's about 35 I think.

Can only think of possibly a Gardening Journal.....month by month recording book, decorative trowel/fork, that sort of thing.
Not sure about dogs.......there are some quite humorous books about dogs around

Try the pound shop - lastweek a bought a smart leather collar, a high vis dog coat with fluorescent strips, a thick rope dog toy and a large box of gravy bones.... lots of nice bits and pieces for £1 a go. All nice quality and would make a very acceptable present

These look lovely! Bit late for this christmas, but for next year....(Edit to say they will be delivered by xmas, but most of you have your gifts wrapped up already!). She does other ranges too. I searched QVC using her name and there's several collections of them.
Looks like they were the TSV recently, but I don't watch QVC very often now, so I missed it. Did anyone buy them as a TSV? Just curious as to how much they were.

These look great - just wanted to check though what does TSV mean?

Oh sorry...Todays Special Value. Forget that not everyone knows that. They sell a product for 24 hours at a special price.

Just made a hamper type thing for my dd school, it was a sock monkey, chocolates, a pen and a small pad of paper.
