I have made up a list of various hampers and gifts I could make (based on this thread) with rough costings. Looks like those who aren't fans of homemade will not be happy this year. I think they look great. Keep the idea's coming everyone (just so I can steal them ).

'share' rather than 'steal'!

I have just finished reading this thread from the beginning and am just in awe of the fab things you come up with, thank you so much for posting absolutely perfect, going to see if I can grab some ideas and oh congrats:T:T

Just a few questions all the JJB etc vouchers you listed back in 2010 as free? and loads of toiletries as free? How is that? And do you buy the dove mini's etc in multi and then seperate to each gift or do you buy them individually and are they always reduced section?

Thanks:D

thanks very much *crazy_girl blushes*

the jjb vouchers were won off the tampax facebook website and the others were from cokezone

the free toiletries were either free samples sent though the post or ones that were the same price as or cheaper than a moc i had in shops

i buy the minis seperately from discount shops or off the market and i quite often find them in the boots reduced section too

I'm in awe too, i have so many ideas now. The toiletry hampers and the felt make up bags, i am definitely going to do. Brill. Its all about starting now isn't it. I think the boots 75% off sale is on sometime next week so will have a look at that. I often see things reduced to pennies in superdrug or tesco, its all about grabbing them when u see them.

Congrats on the baby, there will be loads of freebies winging their way to you.

If its how Boots usually work, in theory the 75% sale should start on Wed.

Wow crazy girl u r a genius. You've got my brain racing now trying to think what I could do and for who:-) I am so so determined not to leave everything to December like last year. Read this thread from the start tonight I'm inspired- whether that will help only time will tell. But thank you thank you

absolutely! i keep everything under my bed, when i first out them there it feels like ages off but the year quickly flies by!

my hubby thinks i'm bonkers but he doesn't grumble about the savings we make!
