donna73 love the 65th birthday survival kit and damit doll.
I made my two boys (8 and 10) a journal in a jar each for Christmas. they are enjoying writing it and have done one every week so far (only early days but they seem keen!). they don't write alot but are interested in doing it.

I've popped photos of the 65th birthday survival kit i've made for MIL and dammit doll for auntie on my blog if anyone wants to look www.amoregreenandsimplelife.blogspot.com
sorry couldn't get the photos on here
The odd sock bag is nearly finished will stick that on the blog too when it's done- I'm making it for myself as a tester, then if i'm happy will try and make some as pressies.

can't wait for kemps wool order to arrive i want to try and knit some little bags to put bits and bobs in for dd to give to her friends for birthdays

has anyone come across good ideas for pressies to make for boys? got several between 5 and 10years to buy for, so far i've thought of a "jar of jokes" (ie just print off internet and put in a jar), and putting green bubblebath/ shower gel into a plastic seethrough jar with plastic bugs in it- might encourage them to wash?!?

Donna, I absolutely love your survival kit. My dad is 65 this year and I was thinking of making him one - going to use yours for my inspiration if that's ok as it is really fab :T

I love your blog and the other bits you've made and posted on there

rainmac, feel free to use the survival kit as inspiration, i made it up using various ideas i found on different sites

Well I have dragged myself away from my x stitch for a few minutes...

Here is a pic of my finished stuff so far .....you need to click it to get a good pic



Im tempted to see if I could sell the bags to raise more funds for the hospice... will see if im feeling brave enough :rotfl:
Im also waiting for my kemps order :j .... Im going to try and be good and use what I have first ....right back to the x stitch then back to another crochet bag I started yesterday -this one is in cream/coffee colours

keep the ideas coming folks :T

Saw this on the Lakeland website and thought it would be pretty easy to do...might go well with the homemade mulled wine hamper?
