also got some bits for the xmas eve hamper - a disney princess torch £1.29
and some toy story and barbie tall box of chocolate buttons £1 each, also from b&m
then went to a chemist and got a plate to leave the cookies on for santa it says something like 'santas cookies keep off' that was £1 to go with toy story alien cushion, fairy cushion, and thomas the tank torch i already have
still got loads to get for this tho;
magic key
polar express dvd
hungry hippos game
reindeer food
pictures to colour or xmas colouring book (gonna leave a pic for santa as a thank you)cookie mix
cup for santa
night before xmas book
snowman soup
new cups
and new pjs for the 2 of them!

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?

My local Home Bargains had the type of cups you were looking for today. Coca cola contour style, made of plastic, lid looks like a metal bottle top and then it has a flexible straw too. They were £1.29 each. They look good, I got some for my movie hampers. They also have individual sachets of microwave popcorn for 25p each so I'm putting them in too.

Hope this helps.

I think you probably want dealextreme.com. They have lots of cheap bits and pieces for stocking fillers.

Many many thanks - you've just saved me another week of fruitless searching!

Does anyone know where I can buy a money counting bank plastic machine? You put the money in and as it goes in it counts it... I did see one in Woolies but that has closed now, tried wilkinsons no luck so far, if anyone has seen one on their travels would be very grateful if you could let me know where it was my son wants one but is too lazy to count it:rotfl:

Hi I saw one of these todays in Hawkin's Bazaar. Thought it was a clever idea but can't remember how much it was think it was about £12.

Went to look for it and it is £12.99 here... hope that helps!
