Those are excellant ideas thanks!! The choc mask was from Asda and is a Montagne Jeunesse one, the candle also Asda for a £1 and the choc !!!!!! was Dunelm a bit expensive at 1.49 due to the colour i think but really soft. I will do snowman soup too, first year for those and have just purchased my cones from ebay!!

Hello

I havent been on here for months! (it might have even been last years thread..oh dear..) but now I'm starting to think about my craft for christmas.

So far I've made a knitted teddy bear cushion for one of my neices. Thats it!!! The only other thing I know I'll make is a knitted shawl for my gran which I should actually start or I'll never finish it in time.

I just cant think of anything else to make. I made my sister knitted bangles, knitted necklace, crochet earrings, a knitted headband and some kanzashi hair ties for her birthday so now I'm completely out of ideas. I'm going to read through the thread now to try and think of something but does anyone have any ideas on what I could make a 4 year old and a 6 year old.. I knit, sew, crochet and mod podge!

Thanks!

Ooh for the people doing chocolate hampers, what about making chocolate slabs? or I used to buy a gorgeous chocolate bubble bath in boots - although I cant remember what brand it was so thats not much help lol.
