I got my 11 year old a bottle of Radox Limited edition Africa shower gel from Boots today for a pound

I was going to get the gift bags to put everything in from Card Factory (2 for £1.50) But i don't think i can fit everything in them

Not sure if you mean the proper gift bags?? ... in wilkos they have santa sacks for 25p (maybe even 20p) each they are like a black sack but white with christmassy pictures on them. At that price you could get a few I bought 1 each as I want to have pressies in them and make them look like they have fallen over and pressies fallen out as santa has left

Where's the best place to get dressing gowns?

Primark? M&S (look on the boards for voucher codes) Debenhams (again look for codes)

I dont know Jetty, for Kids or Adults? Ive been looking around for some cheap ones for me and the little one. If you tell me what you are looking for in particluar, I will keep my eye out for you too?

I saw some in B&M last weekend, but they were fleecy and Im looking for supersoft Terry towelling ones xx

As above I know Primark has some lovely ones, are you looking for a lady or a man??


Thankyou for all the ideas for the hamper for my OH ... I am female so buying for a male think I have a compiled list now Thankyou so much ....

As for the socks debate!! ... MY OH thinks it is a christmas tradition that you have to have socks in your stocking!!! ... he hadn't had a stocking for almost 17 years then he met me he had his first stocking last year and I swear he was more excited than the kids!! This year he has dangermouse socks in it

I'm looking for girls one is 8 (but looking for age 11-12 for her!) and the other is 11 but she is tall so could get away with small adult. I did look in Primark but none really stood out to me. So far i have found a spongebob one and a hearts one, 3 for 2 with Empire, but i don't really want to pay their prices! :eek:

Hi, for anyone looking for cheap kids pj's or dressing gowns, I've used this website http://www.kids-pyjamas.co.uk/ after seeing it in the grabbit board a while ago and would recommend. The postage bumps the prices up a bit but it still works out quite cheap. I got Night Garden & Disney Princess stuff but there is lots of branded character stuff. My order was delivered in a few days so would recommend. HTH.
