Last year I only did a few hampers, pots of gold, snowman soup and some journal jars.

This year I'm planning:

3x pamper hampers for my teenage sisters
1x Xmas eve hamper for us
1 x movie hamper for my partner
1x hamper for my nan and grandad
4x retro sweetie boxes (sisters and partner)
A few gifts in jars for my little boy's teacher and other family friends

I think thats it...!! Apart from the homemade decorations but thats not gifts! xx

Ooooh, I cant wait till you put the links in!

This year is a first for me, Ive never made my own hampers/gifts before and Im looking for all the inspiration I can get!

Ive made a 'haircare hamper' which is all pink, with shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioning treatments etc.....but looking at some of the things mentioned, I could probably turn this into a 'pamper hamper'

Ive also made a lavendar/aromatherapy sleep care basket, but am not quite sure who this is for! (My stepmum I think!)

Im going to give my Dad a 'Nothing' Jar - cos he always says he doesnt want anything whenever you ask!

Im now thinking of a Christmas Eve hamper for me and the little one.....!

I've been an avid fan of this fab board for a while now and have picked up loads of great ideas, here's some suitable for Christmas gifts...

365 facts in a jar... I made this last year for my dad and OH. I found facts online and pasted into Word, printed and cut the paper up and popped in a large jar. If anyone would like a copy of the facts I found please send me a PM with your email address.

Toilet roll wrapped with a poem...

Money is scarce and times are hard,

So I'm giving you this, instead of a card.
Christmas cards are a bit of a farce,
But this will be handy, for wiping your .... nose!
Or
I bought this little gift for you,
I thought it was unique.
I bet you can't guess what it is,
So trendy and so chic.
You'll never get caught short again,
Now that you have this chum.
He's 'Charmin' and he's funny,

And he'll help you wipe your ... nose!

My list is pretty short for homemade things this year...
I'm crocheting Amigurumis for all the teen's and adults (mainly keyrings and Christmas decorations)
Reindeer food and Snowman soup for the children (and their classmates)
Then a Christmas hamper (24th Dec) for the whole family (PJ's, films and stuff)

Does anyone know where to buy the short biros needed for making the Post-it-notes holders please?

Oh I am determined to be organised this year.

Can't wait for the links - I am going to try a nappy cake for a new family baby due in September. Everyone else will be buying toys so guessing a nappy cake will be more helpful for the parents.

I am intrigued by the snowman soup !!??

Going to sit down with a cup of coffee and look through all these ideas !!
