:hello:Morning Ladies and gents if you have any,

I always read this thread, im being brave and stepping out of lurkerville.

jemtom - I recently bourght some little people from ebay for my daughter to put in a house she was given. They were sold as a set of three and very cheap!! I suggest a looksy over there. Hope that helps.

I am following your tips and advice, THANK YOU all so much this is the first year that my dec pay isnt going to be eaten by buying pressies last thing!

I am all but done with the shopping apart from my mother - no idea, my OH - who thinks i have a money tree so is rethinking his wish list and my son who just turned one. I cant stop buying for my daughter as everything i find is girly, any suggestions for my sons sack? i worried he may end up with nothing. He did just have a garage, cars and a ball pit for this birthday last week.

Have a look here, you can choose age & price band in the search & if you find something you like you can search for the best price!
Good Luck!

Thanks everyone regarding miniatures - I think I'm sorted there! Any other ideas for what to put in crackers?

Cracker ideas -

Miniature toiletries - you can get little tiny bubble baths and for men little spray shaving stuff, not sure what it is but I've seen it in Tesco for 99p next to the other shaving stuff It's in a blue and green little, tiny spray canister. Also, I think the Lynx bullet sprays would fit.

Chocolates/sweets

Earrings

Scratchcards

Sachets like face masks, you can get them for men as well as women

Nail varnish would probably fit

I've ran out of ideas now, hope that helped a bit

As promised............. sorry its a bit late.

Thank you chickywiggle, and sorry for the late thanks, have only just finished reading the whole thread!

Thank you everyone for the ideas! Bought loads of things yesterday .
Cant remember who it was who was looking for a money counter, but if you havent got one yet, the deal of the day on gadgetshop is a piggy money counter, £2.99 down from (I think) £14 ish! Ordered one of those for my sister, I know the postage takes it up to about £7 but that is still the cheapest ive seen and its cute!
Also ive finally got a few cousins and OH's cousins presents done, I had bought them cheap cute mugs and have put 2 sachets of hot chocolate, a bag of marshmellows, a mini whisk, two candycanes and a really cute tiny peg in each, if I must say myself they look really good and managed to do each one for about £4 so well under budget! they just need wrapping in cellophane once it arrives! Will try to figure out how to post pictures (any one got any tips?!)
I know theres more, but I think this is long enough for now! xxx

Just remembered some more bargains I got yesterday.
If anyone has a M&S outlet near them, I went to york deigner outlet yesterday and got 2 cyberman keyrings in a little box, they were priced at £1 down from about £4 but when I took them to the till they came up at 49p each !
And also for those who are doing golf hampers, they had golf ball soap on a rope for £1, down from about £4 aswell.
Both the keyrings and the soap will make nice little stocking fillers/hamper fillers!

Hi all, I'm enjoying catching up with all the Christmassy things as I've been mega busy. I've managed to get a job at B&M :rotfl: so been there for the past two days. I love it as I'm earning money for Christmas, I can plan out all the things I want to get from there as I go around the shop floor, and I get staff discount so it's MSE too :rotfl:
