FOR RUSTY

Think it was me that posted the original link for islepac - i was hunting for ages for them and i know i posted the link on one of the threads on here - can't remember which one though!

I found these ones that are a little bit cheaper if you're only wanting one.

I think they're really nice - they've made my chutney look so much more expensive and professional. I'm not sure they'll think that when they taste it but at least it looks good hey?!!! xxx

Sorry rwaite, I knew it was someone beginning with R but for some reason thought it was rainmac ... Thankyou for the link, I will buy one later on, my MIL emailed me back last night and said my FIL likes ginger and rhubarb jam ... is this 2 different jams do you think or 1 jam? lol

Sophies mum that hamper looks amazing!!! Where did you buy your basket from? I want some like that for easter!

Sophiesmum - I love your hamper of homemade goodies and other stuff, it looks fantastic and very expensive

Just checked out that link and it says itself that they are not dis-similar to supermarket wine carriers (which are free). How about spray painting a wine carrier and maybe decorating with a lovely tag, some stencilling etc..... Obviously would only work if you're giving six items though!

Also this would look really lovely wrapped in cello I reckon.

Has anyone come across a thomas the tank engine or pingu colouring book? I'm making my niece (nearly 28 months) a little shopping bag with crayon roll and want to include a colouring book and some other crafty age-specific stuff (as she loves colouring at the moment) for christmas.

Pingu and Thomas are the two 'characters' she likes the most (although possibly because they're the only things she's allowed to watch!) but I've not come across any in the shops. I saw a thomas activity and colouring book combined but it looked a bit grown-up for her, as although she's reallyy bright I think dot-to-dot, etc are probably a bit too hard for her!

I am going shopping soon to get other bits for my hampers, so I will keep a look out for you.

Thank you, that's really kind of you!

I have just thought that if all else fails the National Railway Museum has a Thomas gift-shop so I imagine they probably will sell one, but I bet it's over-priced!

Asdas have some Thomas activity stuff so be sure to check it out there, But again they might be abit hard for her. Pound shop may have some thomas stuff and some pengu stuff

Hi Nemo, I wondered if you could make your own book? There are hundreds of pages on the web to print off colouring pages. Here's just 2.

Just an idea.

sophiesmum your basket is brilliant. So thoughtful and unique for the reciever.
