Got some bits for Christmas today.

M&S have extremely chocolatey biscuit selection on BOGOF at £4 so got 2 to stash away.
They also had some of their prewrapped belgian chocolate boxes half price somedium one was £3.20, got a couple as my emergency pressies as they are even already wrapped!

Sainsburys have BOGOF (£2) terrys choccy oranges as someone already said and ours had all the flavours so nice for stocking fillers. They also have the tubes of sweeties (jelly tots, pastilles, malteseres, etc) at £1 so got a couple of those as stocking fillers too.

I'm not sure this why i think it would be cheaper if i make them myself using my display cylinders and you would probably get more in.:D
With those sweet chewbz they have different sizes:D

Wish I had a card for a cash and carry, my boss at work is always bringing in sweets for us and she gets big tubs so cheap at the cash and carry.

Going to try that at my work

Can't remember who wanted it but for anyone looking for an idea for a 'Chocoholic' i found this: http://www.gadgetshop.com/ViewAll/Chococase-for-iPhone/EPN379792
A bit pricey but i think you may be able to find it cheaper if you have a look around also you get 7% cashback via quidco

Had a look on GIZOO via quidco - OMG it was fatal, i've seen more useful things to buy my OH, but the difference?? They actually are useful!! ie Windscreen Repair Kit £14.95, Digital Tyre Compressor £21.95, The Ding King Dent Repair Kit £11.95...etc
So now i've added an extra 5 things to OH's to buy list and one to my grandads

HTH
