i just keep my eyes out for cheap baskets and boxes, that particular one was reduced in tk maxx

penny is right, the mini champers are from home bargains

Your pressies look lovely.

crazygirl - brilliant pressies :T

Not done a lot but did raid the sweet shop yesterday so now have
three ''make it yourself'' snowmen -gravy tubs covered with snowman paper, and filled with marshmallows, choc.matchsticks,flying saucers for hats,chocolate raisins and strawberry string for a red scarf
three chocolate bars covered to look like reindeer -two male one female-female has red shaped lips and done with lighter card........used some little pipe cleaners left over from last year for the antlers
Recipe index box I covered now all varnished and the ''recipe'' letters stuck on it........recipes I printed out all inside

Need to get some pretty paper from the card shop to make a couple of kitchen organisers........maybe do that tomorrow.:)
Oh and have diaries all ready to be covered:)
