Have seen Tim Tams & Vegemite in Uk supermarkets but can't remember where??

I did m Dad an Aussie themed stocking for Christmas - put in; Aussie wine, lucky dollar, vegemite, Aussie bodycare stuff, Aussie haircare sachet, Steve Irwin book and a video about Cairns. Think you can get Tim Tams in some Sainsburys?? Also how about a travel journal? I got one for my best friend's wedding (along with matching luggage tags and travel wallet) in Paperchase - they were all 50%/30% off. hth!!

I bought 2 sizes of jute bags this year and filled the larger ones with wine, olive oil, olives, chocolate and cake for gifts.

Teh smaller ones were filled with home made cocoa butter melts, candles and lip balms

To all you 'Hamp'sters on here.................I may have a little tip for you to try next year (sorry if somebody has already mentioned doing this). I've just shredded up all the used wrapping paper we had this Christmas, to use as packing for next years christmas hampers It looks good because I stuck to gold, red and cream paper this year, so it's not a mish mash of colours

I've also just cut up all the cards to make gift tags, so the ones that are coordinating colours should look pretty cool on them. Just need to think of themes for people now :rolleyes::rolleyes:

savvy - you do sound organised. I've got as far as cutting up my christmas cards to recycle either as cards or tags...........wrapping paper was silver that I used and I'm keeping what was left to re-use this year. Other pressies came in all sorts of different colours.........managed to salvage a bit but not a lot so it went in recycling bin.

Surely it would have been easier to store unshredded, ready to shred next Christmas?

Can anyone give me any ideas for red sweets please? I need to find just red sweets, all I can think of at the moment are the haribo foamy hearts which I know he isn't keen on.

Any help would be appreciated please thankyou
