Hiya

Just wanted to say a huge thanks, your ideas have inspired me, I am planning to do a thank you hamper for my fil and you have done yours so professionally you have put my mind at rest as to it looking cheap to him - if mine look anything like yours he will probably tell me off thinking its really expensive :-)

Plus your hot choc mugs and party in a box ideas are so perfect for my cousin in laws (my husband has annoying amounts of cousins!!!!)

oooooh thanks so much am all enthuastic about present giving now!!!! :j:T

thanks very much, my family know that i do the hampers so i dont get too much of a telling off but i do sometimes 'you shouldnt have done so much/ spent so much/ my gift looks rubbish now....' stuff like that! i should just show them this thread so they can see exactly how much i spent!

Been looking for the 'party box' and can't find it -anyone point me in the right direction ?
My grandchildren are 18 this christmas and I'm stumped on what to get them other than 18 things in a box but a party box sounds like it might be ok for them

mary-op

Have to add this

Go to the Freebie board and type 'Fly Face in Space' in the search column (sorry no good at links) and you can put your child or grandchild (in my case) in space.............you get a certificate to say its there at a later date. Just done it for my three grandchildren.
Did the free 'name a star' and sent their name to Mars so this year they're all up in space............lol
Previous ones I did as a sort of scroll and rolled up in a kitchen roll middle I covered.........freebie pressie and a bit novel.
