BTW guys. don't know if any of you live in Oxforshire or near Portsmouth but that L'Occitane outlet seems to have some serious bargains: then Extra Gentle Hand and Body Lotion I'm looking for, which is normally £17.25 is £8 there! :eek: Or, 3 bottles of it (300ml) are £21. The only problem is they won't post if you can't pop in yourself. I want to cry!

ok this won't ease the pain much but at lookfantastic.com it is £17.15 but with the codes below you save £2 and have free delivery..

Hi guys, found your thread today and am thoroughly enjoying reading through it....

I have a Christmas craft Fayre coming up soon an have already jumped into my little workroom and made up cone shaped bags using cello I had in, and tried out the Reindeer food....I'm really pleased with the way it looks....

however my OH doesn't think it's worth doing as I'd not be able to charge much....can I ask how much you guys usually charge for them if that's not too cheeky?

Thanks for that and also for the inspiration, ffd x:rudolf:

Hi guys

Bit of a random idea for a xmas pressie for my other half!

He's really into military history and anything Empire related - and I thought it might be fun to create a hamper with an Empire theme. Maybe an item of food/drink from the main countries that were in the Empire? e.g. India, Africa etc

Any ideas?

teacherandmum

how about curry items (curry paste, curry powder etc), tea stuff (tea bags or loose tea, nice teapot?), hm not sure what else at the moment!

I had a very successful day today! I have now wrapped all of my hamper boxes and lids and have put all the gifts I have bought so far into the correct boxes! Now all I need to do is wait on a whole load of internet deliveries and I will be half way there! Oh the joy!

I've had a great present buying day today! I went to Tesco and doubled up £45 of clubcard vouchers so I had £90 to spend on Toys for my son, and all FREE!!
We got so much! Mainly 'pretend' stuff as he's really into copying us
* a portable toy kitchen complete with chefs hat and apron
* a toy hoover just like our real one that he is obsessed with riding while we try to hoover!
* 2 bags of plastic fruit and vegetables
* tea set
* Octopals toy for the bath
* A Waybaloo (sp?) talking soft toy
* set of playdough
and something else that I have forgotten right now!

It feels so good to have boxes of presents piled up in my cupboard, it's so exciting! We had to sneak them in so my son didn't see them, I love that he's getting old enough to be interested in Christmas (he's nearly 2). I think I'm going to wrap his presents soon as I'm sure he'll find them!
