Hmmm didn't find anything but I think I might do them a kind of foodie hamper. With maybe some kind of nice infused oil, chutney, cheese, organic wine, marinated olives, that sort of thing. I think they would like it, but they are so flipping fussy, it's hard to tell.
Not sure where I would buy those things locally though, I don't live in a 'deli' kind of a town. :rolleyes: Maybe Leeds city centre though, or actually, I'm sure there will be somewhere near where Mr Sunday lives, that's if we are still speaking by then.
There are loads of Christmas deli style markets around at the moment Snaggs, Bradford have a continental market very soon

We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.

I love making up little 'collection' presents like that, you can really personalise it to the person without spending loads :T

Exactly, you can really show a person that you know them and have really thought about the gifts that you've chosen and put together!

Beanie, not sure if she drinks but, M&S are doing some lovely gold/red/teal wine/champagne glasses. How about putting 1 (?2) in a nice box with some wine (Jacob's Creek sparkling chardonney is fab and is good as champagne) and maybe a candle or bubble bath or chocs?
I did similat last year for people and it was really well received.0 -

Thanks Linda, that's fab. I love Christmas markets. So romantic. Bit crap going on your own mind you, but I can dream!"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250
