    Hi not posted much on here but following as much as I can, and loving everyones ideas. Not very crafty- but trying, so think many ideas may have to wait until next year. Very cheeky but really hoping you can all help. My bestest friend has just told me she is pregnant, really want to do her something special for christmas (not necessarily baby orientated-I usually get alcohol themed gifts!) any ideas? Thanks in advance :-)

  • I just had to share with you lovely lot that a stall was selling 'Cookie Mix in a Jar' gifts today at our local Farmers' Market. They did look lovely in gorgeous kilner jars but they were charging £8.50 each :eek:. They had ones with smarties, choc chips, white choc and cranberries and oats and raisins! I was bowled over by the price, and it's spurred me to make my own this year.

    These could make brill christmas pudding cards for christmas rather than cupcakes by adapting them a little.

    £8.50! :eek::eek::eek: You could easily make one just as nice for a fraction of the price. Were they selling well?

    B&M currently have packets of cranberries and white choc chunks for 29p each, I stocked up on some for my Christmassy cookies in jars if anyone's interested
    D'you know, in 900 years of space and time, I've never met anyone who wasn't important

  • I love those cupcake cards! What a great idea and to think I nearly gave away my bag of plystrene balls!!!
