Thanks all!

Sounds a bit of a daft question but what sort of length do you need for a nice hamper? Ive seen some on ebay thats 4 x various lengths at a good price from the seller linked above.

Also bought a lovely wicker lined basket with handles that looks like a small babies crib for £3.49 in Rhyl today for a special gift basket for my daughter on her wedding eve in March which I wouldnt have even thought about if I hadnt found this thread.

Hey all,

Working on those photo printing suggestions, thanks. With the possible RM strike and my reliance on shopping online I'm trying to get a move on and get some more stuff ordered ASAP. My love affair with play continues and most online stores that offer free delivery. A quick browse and I've spotted

Cosy Rug. Great for the old folks.

Grumpy old git t-shirt. Another one for the older generation.

cereal killer t-shirt for the cornflake muncher in the family.

No I will not fix your computer t-shirt for the geeks. At £4.99 including delivery I bought a couple of these.

Aircurve speaker for the iphone obsessed young people

Pride Prejudice Zombie Romance. A classic!

Thankyou so much, the cosy rug is a great idea for my mil. Ive seen them before but it was only upon reading your post that I realised it would be perfect for MIL! I will need a larger one as the play.com one isn't very big (according to the review)

I am SO excited today. Ive bought quite a few pressies lately, Ill list what I can remember.
20q £4 (netmums)
2 x Moon sand £4.93 (asda)
2 large Diego figures £2 from £8 (asda)
Fruit factory £8.99 from £19.99 as the box was bashed (so pleased as DS really wants this!) Tesco
2 Dr who figures £1 each (asda)
2 skipping ropes 50p each (asda)
Various mini notepads, rulers, sharpeners and rubbers 15p each (staples)
3 large dr who figures, 2 small £8.50 (they are secondhand from hukd but fab condition and quite hard to get hold of new anyway)
3 beaded bracelets and a new barbie necklace 99p (hukd)


Also picked up a mcdonalds kitchen i won on ebay (£5.50) and it's fantastic! Its from the 1980s and so well made! I had to give it to Ds straight away as he came with us to pick up but he absolutely loves it, so pleased. Father Christmas is getting him the food to go with it.
I'm pleased that I've got a few presents sorted, my little brother is sorted now and there's not much more to get for DS.
