    Dr Who toiletries bag with sponge and bubble bath (1.59)
    Dr pencil case (79p)
    Dr Who plastic box (2.75 - quite expensive but they will love it and it will get re used) full of chocs.

    Jess, I'm doing a hamper for the dogs of the Dogs Trust in Roden (I sponsor a dog there) - they have so much cheap stuff in Quality Save etc.

    Also, check out the freebies board because you can get quite a lot of samples for pets.

  • What do you think of these boxes?

    I got them from the Garden centre. About 6 different sizes, (these are the 2 biggest) from about £1.50 to £2.35. I am gonna put the lid behind for height, fill full of stuff and then wrap in cello and finish with a pull bow. Hopefully people will use the boxes after xmas, maybe for storing baubles and stuff.

    Hi,

    Can you tell me where you got the mini jams from please? I've done one afternoon tea hamper and my mum was so impressed with it she wants me to do another one for a friend of hers, but am stuggling to find the jam.

    Thanks
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000
