Ok so, someone pulled someone up on here before for not being 'MSE'. This got me thinking that it'd be good to share ideas of how we can spoil those around us for free! Little things that we can do to make their Christmas that bit more special... ok wonderful MSEs :j what are your suggestions...?:T

Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
And then do it.

    Is anything truly free? Isn't someone somewhere paying a price, even if it's only an emotional one?

    The best free thing you could give to anyone is just a bit of love, because at some point this Christmas there will probably be an argument. So instead of manufacturing your own pot pourri or making new biscuits out of old broken biscuits, just be excellent to each other.

    That's the point i was making really - things we can do for each other to show love/ positive thought. I'm sure there's lots we can do without an emotional price! The point of this thread isn't about making something out of nothing (i.e. with reference to your biscuit comment) it's to share ideas of good will and spoiling those we love.

    p.s. there won't be arguments in our household! we discuss.
