    Wow that looks great Popkins. I need to find more red things still ... I have the daft presents in red wrappers etc but need to find some nice red things now .... Ideally I want to buy him a game or a blu ray but they'll not be in red packets so I may well have to wrap them before adding them ;)

    Popkins, fab array of wonderful stuff for your OH, he's going to love it.

    Can I ask where did you get your cherry tictacs? I found cinnamon tictacs in a shop that sells American food and bought them as they were red but they were 99p :eek:

    I hope to sort OH Valentines/b'day pressies this week as he's away, want to get it all sorted and hidden away before he gets back as he's a snooper!!!

    Rusty was it you who was after Winnie the Pooh wash mitts? Lloyds have them half price for £1.25 on their website. They look like this...

    I've never ordered from Lloyds before but saw a link on another thread and wandered over and had a look, found the hot water bottle above (had to get that ;)) and ordered a few other cheapie bits for kiddie b'day pressies.
