i take it that your friends a girl?

how about lipsticks, eye shadows etc, boxes of choc, books, candles, photo frame, top, slippers!, hair stuff, moneybox for loose change!!!

or do your own health and beauty hamper with shampoos/conds, body lotions, hand cream etc and put a little cuddly toy in to complete. this is what I did last year for my sisters and mum and they were very impressed with the personal touch and I got most of it from tesco with vouchers!) amd thinking of doing a choc and dvd hamper this year!

Well I managed to find my pressie book and its well out of date:eek: need to go through my stash now. Been out this morning and got a few bits and bobs to out away, got some sports candles for 39p in homebargins great for the kids and OH birthday cakes. Wrapping paper & Tags for OH for 29p, some mini books for my little sis 69p loads of different ones to pick from. Even got a couple of extra Xmas gifts for uncle in laws baby for Xmas in the £1 shop, a really nice plate, bowl and matching cup set in melamine grand total of £3 :j. Thinks I'm still in on the money neutral so far but I'm gonna have to make some serious money to stay that way with the kids B.days and Xmas pressies.

Right I'm off to print out some pictures for DS2 so he can do his scrapbook for his Airlover badge at Cubs.

Hope your all having a nice day, catch you later

Hampers are great ideas, what about a girly night in one for her wine, dvd/ blockbuster voucher, choc's, book???

Like the sound of the Chocolate hamper, are you just putting lots of different kinds of Choc in? My god mum is a chocoholic so it sounds ideal

Yes i think so bit like a posh selection box lol. but maybe add a pair of slippers and a dvd for a film night in?
Not sure what else I could put in it? My sisters dont drink (we're all allergic) so cant put any little bottles of anything in them unfortunately.

can you get blockbuster vouchers? what prices do they come in? i was thinking about that earlier actually but wasnt sure if they did them.

FreebieRocker

i think you can get £10 vouchers but im not completely sure.. i dont use blockbusters at all lol

focus888

neither do i lol well it was a nice idea not sure if i will go with that but thanks everyone for the suggestions.

just curious apart from popcorn and chocolate what else would be considered a cinema snack?
