making my friend a "family movie hamper" for christmas for her+hubby and kids (daughter age 13, son aged 11). Does anyone have any suggestions for suitable family films (DVD) i can put in the hamper?
I was just gonna put Blockbuster gift card in, so they could choose what they want but worried this might look cheap/not thoughtful (plus am hoping to find DVDs cheaper than what i might spend in Blockbuster!)
I can raid their DVD collection when I am visiting to check they haven't whatever you are about to suggest .....

Mum & Daughter into ponies, Dad & son into rugby. This probably doesn't help at all.

Not sure if the offer is still going but you could get DVDs for £1 from play.com using voucher codes on certain Nestle cereals.

What about some Christmassy films? HMV, Play and Amazon will have loads at a good price. There are loads to choose from, but off the top of my head: Snowman (HMV have that & Father Christmas in a double pack for £3.99 when you buy any other film)
It's a wonderful life
The holiday
Love actually
Santa Claus the movie (think there were 3 altogether)
Muppets christmas carol
Home alone
The Grinch
Miracle on 34th street

Just had an email from CD wow and they have £1 off DVD's, CD's and games until 11pm tonight.

Don't forget the popcorn & hot chocolate!

It is still on and I've seen quite a lot of the cereal packs with the offers on in the past week. Tesco had coco shreddies for £1 too.

Not all of the codes work now though. I bought a couple of boxes and the terms and conditions state 31st October, only one of my codes worked.

31st Oct 2009! I fell into that mistake too. If the code is wrong, try changing the '0' to an 'o' or 'v' to a 'u'....that was another problem I had. HTH.

Nope mine says 2008 oh well guess I had a dodgy packet :rotfl: I might have a wander and see if I can get some more and check the dates ... would be ideal as I still have a movie hamper to do

Oh...sorry. Could you try calling Play and see if they'll still put it through? Might be worth a try. There are lots of boxes with the offer on round here (Ilford area), so hopefully the offer has proven so popular that they're running it longer.

does anyone have the link for the cello cones from ebay
as read that there was a dodgy seller
or does anyone have any spare that they would like to swap for
brown check muffin cases (the larger 2 flannel types)

Thank you
