    could try a hmv voucher instead or something?

    could include some sort of drink (eg cola, etc) or go on coke zone.co.uk and use coke zone points to order coke products to put in there? or a glass with "coca~cola" on it.. i think you get them free with 2ltr bottles of cola at the minute in some supermarkets.

    Afternoon - all this talk of hampers is making me feel decidedly hungry - you could also put a snuggly blanket in - will bulk it out a bit and think Ikea ones are only about £2 odd.

    I had a good rummage round in Asda at the weekend and got DD the bits for her blue hamper so just need a blue MP3 player now - hopefully will have enough Amazon vouchers by xmas - have seen a blue Ipod but think they're a bit expensive for a 9 year old - If I can't get a blue one will get a blue case for a black one and she's done.

    Also got my mum some PJs which I can never get at xmas as she likes cotton short sleeved ones not fleecy like normal people :rotfl:
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    I get my amazon ones from Valued opinons and Lightspeed - you can get them from Toluna but 60000 takes aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages :rotfl:. I think IPSOS does them as well

    I use Lightspeed most but you can get them in quite a few places. Dooyoo do £20 amazon vouchers for submitting 40 reviews as well if that's any use :)

    Thanks Oonie!

    If anyone wants me to close this thread due to "too many Christmas threads" I don't mind re-integrating with the new thread but I quite like how this one bobs along in a quietly focused manner!

    Xmas Saver!
    Jammie - Thats the last thing we want,is for your thread to close, the idea behind the new thread is to run alongside urs, as I see yours for money making for birthdays, xmas and support, and the new thread is Christmas presents, spending the neutral money (and more!!),

    I mentioned yours in 1st post to explain what you do and where we follow on.

    PLEASE DONT BE DAFT - YOUR THE BEST ON HERE XX
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    jammy - you're just trying to confuse me by changing the title!!
    I love this thread cos it pushes me to make money but am saving for my hols so Christmas will be 'non stressful and bargains' rather than money neutral which is why I din't post very oten. Does that make sense?!!
