    Moneysavingmumofone - Don't know if this helps but Argos has moon sand on a 2 for £15 offer with loads of other things incase you maybe need a gift for someone else?

    victory-my sons exactly the same. at college doesnt want work and cant get EMA (we just over the limit). wants the cash and pressies for christmas. Ive told him its one or the other he has to choose. I've said £100 tops. he can have the cash or have some cash and i spend the rest in pressies. all ive had is moaning that im tight and miserable and everyone else gets huge stacks of gifts and cash. WELL TOUGH. I cant afford anymore and refuse to put myself in debt or stress about it. IF HE DONT LIKE IT HARD LUCK. Both hubby and i are in total agreement. My Dd is getting the same and has accepted it no fuss, she wants £50 cash to spend in the sales and the rest in pressies.
    Dont let them wear you down .

    Ooooooh I think instead of giving them a gift buy them a goat or something from Oxfam. My friend did that to his whole family last year working on the logic that no one can complain about giving to others!

    they are so nice, look a bit too crafty for me, but i may have a go, stupid question, but could i just get a glass jar, use a white bauble and decorate it? it looked like a bauble and glass jar to me anyway :rotfl:im really not with it today i think my brain has run off and left me,
