have been super organised today tho and made a list of the food i need for xmas dinner, decorations i need to buy and food supplies for baking i need to get. im going to do an overall xmas food list tonight too so i can start buying stuff in.

decided to get mil 2 new games for her nintendo ds taht are coming out soon and also going to do her a little sweet hamper with her favourite things. i have her 3 bars of milka chocolate in different varietys (but may up this to 6) and going to add some jaffa cakes and turksih delights. but she only likes frys turkish delights has anyone seen any on offer anywhere?

fil has asked for the new shaun long (rugby player ) book and some old spice he has a budget of £50 so this will leave him about £30-£35 can anyone think of anything? he's also getting a sweet hamper (different budget). his favourites are toffees and liqorice. i dont eat either so can anyone recommend any? he likes the 'finer' things in life when it comes to food. i do already have him a bag of liqorice twists and traditional soft liqorice to go in his hamper. and i would like to get him some hard toffee with the little hammer, but unsure on the best brands?

Thorntons toffee is yummy

I love Thorntons special toffee. They do them in bags that cost about £1 but if i remember correctly, i think they also do different sizes of bags etc.

There is a link to the Thorntons website to give you an idea of what they have and for how much.
