Since becoming Ill Saturday (with suspected swine flu) I have spend loads of time planning for christmas in between naps lol. I have decided to make my sis & bil a movie night in hamper as there expecting baby n02 in nov they will be spending alot of nights in!
So far I've decided to put a couple of films in, beers, popcorn,popcorn bucket, sweeties, chocs, maybe a giftcard for blockbusters/hmv etc..
I've had a look on google images and found some inspiration, I plan on getting a large stripey gift box to put it all in!

Gonna base it on something like this!

Hope your feeling better soon snowbrow, that movie hamper looks good, I thought about doing them last year but it was far too late to start them and already had most of my pressies.

That movie hamper does look fantastic.Last yeasr I spent less than usual but this year I plan to reduce the volume I give too.I will do hampers this year,always plan to but rarely get round to it.
I have loads of stuff in bags hidden away from the sales early in the year so am leaving it until November and finishing off the shopping then.
I have been looking at my xmas planner already and searching through recipes to see what new things I can try this year for the dinner though.

I visited Bath a few weeks ago and found a fantastic shop that sells Xmas decs all year round! I thought I'd died and gone to heaven:j Bought lots of fab things - can't wait for Xmas to come so I can hang them all over the house!

I LOVE XMAS:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It is so nice to be with people who feel the same:T

Oops, forgot to say, the Movies Hamper is a great idea and is ideal for my grown up nephews & nieces - so thanks for a terrific idea and photo.

Like a lot of you I also bought all my wrapping paper and cards in the January sales! I also bought my deluxe xmas pud in the sales in january too, reduced from £15 to a fiver in Mr S and the sell by date is 2010!!

nowbrow - hope you feel better soon x i like the hamper!! I was thinking of doing one for my cousins - teenage boys and i never know what to get them!! Did think about putting some vouchers in there aswell - was thinking of film popcorn drinks etc but was trying to think of something to make it a bit bigger present so a voucher for hmv etc would work well.......

I love christmas
