Hi
Just a thought following on from Doctor Who, theres a Dr Who museum / exhibition in Llangollen, dont know what its like (sorry) or even how far u are from there, but might be worth a search on the net.

Thanks mum2one, there is also a museum in Blackpool that we get dragged in every year, but will have a look at the one in Llangollen thanks for letting me know.

Right guys I need inspiration. I posted this on the other thread then realised here woudl be a better place for it:

I find this really difficult, as the gifts we give don't tend to be hand made, thoughtful scrapbooks have been done year on year. None of my friends appreciate hand made things either. I made something for one last year and she didn't even say thank you so must have hated it So I find it hard to buy things cheaply really. I always get the best deals, but whisky, clothes etc. is expensive!

OK so if I gave my family Snowman Soup or a sock monkey they would probably just think "what the hell??" but I'd like to do something different as well. They loved the pots of gold a few yrs ago, but I am lacking inspiration this yr!

Jammy are they female or male relations or a mix of both and are they all adult? How about making some home made sweets and making a nice box for them? There were lots of sweet recipes on here last year. I am thinking of making some to go in my brothers hamper, have some organic chocolate already so I think homemade or farm shop bits would go with it.
