    How about getting the kids to write a special wish or even their christmas list on a chinese lantern, then lighting it in the garden on Christmas eve and sending it up to Santa. Obviously might have to have a sneaky peek to ensure Santa doesn't ignore the request!!!;)

    expensive - however not if you club together with a few other parents or get searching for cheaper ones on the net!

    Thats sweet idea. :T

    I use hundreds and thousands as you get the colourful effect and it doesnt matter if the birds or the dog eat them!

    Really want to do a hamper but my little lad isnt even 1 yet!! Think I might do a family one with a film and choccies and stuff. Pip can have some new PJs and I LOVE those ducks!!
