    thank you all for your help and hamper ideas over 2008 - all my hampers look great and cost a lot less than I used to spend on pressies. Have a great Christmas everyone.
    Make £2 a day challenge - doing well so far.

    Ive also finished all my hampers and just have to wrap them tonight. I made nice ones for my MIL ad SIL, pamper hampers filled with mainly free stuff from Boots using pink vouchers etc. But I made a really good one for FIL (oh was very impressed as he was going to get him the usual shirt) He loves making Paella and fish dishes, so I used a large Paella pan as the 'hamper' and filled it wilth Paella rice, a lemon, garlic bulb, smoked paprika, Saffron, a laminated recipe card, stock cubes and 2 bottles of San Miguel. it looks preety god (I think anyway) ill try and post pics later if I have time.

    thanks again for all your inspiration, I feel Ive made more of an effort and put more thought into my preesies this year, where normally they would have gotten pj's or a shirt.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :santa2::santa2:
