lol @ ruth know the feeling it is a lot of money but it has the 'm&s' logo on it say no more lol, what bike have you got??

I used to work for M&S, and to honest, I don't really rate their food much. That's just personal taste, mind, but even with my staff discount, I didn't buy much there. And to spend £1000 on a hamper is just crazy to me!

I'm loving your hamper, though. The colours look great.

I ride a Yamaha Virago (535cc). Husband just bought a new bike on Saturday, so I have itchy (throttle) fingers for a new one, now! :rolleyes:

Should be getting 2 flannels tomorrow which will be spread one each in my mums and nans hampers

I have started to find that if i do it this way my box of hamper supplies becomes fuller quicker i think.

Also my wonderful friend is buying wicker baskets and cellophane bags for me off ebay and i will pay her my half , this means im gettin the amount i need without paying a arm and a leg and havin lots left over , plus i usually use my mums ebay account but she would know what she is getting if i done that lol!

I.

Not a Christmas film but LIDL have Little MIss Sunshine for £4.99 - beautifully crafted & brilliant family film about a dysfunctional family
Here's a link to the plot, in case you haven't seen it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Miss_Sunshine

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.

There are a lot of special offers on the dvd Mamma Mia at the minute, and i think it was only released yesterday!! For a limited time, asda an morrisons are selling it for £6.99 and Tesco i think for £7.99

Not the cheapest but it is in high demand and has only just been released so could be a bargain if they like that kind of film x
