Many thanks.

Im looking at getting old school sweets(the ones we could get back in the 80,s) like 1p chews and all that so does anyone know of any online stores that i can get these from plase as i know of some people who love that kind of stuff and would make great gifts.

Hamper Container? Christmas/Birthdays

I was in Sainsburys earlier in the week and they have coloured enamel buckets blue/green/pink (and other metal children's gardening stuff) at 75% off.

I thought maybe they would make quirky 'hampers' for gifts...eg for a gardener, with packets of seeds in, could be used as candle holders, or even with packets of 'retro' sweets for kids...
and I am sure some of you can come up with fab ideas

They're not on line but these are the colours...

Okay so Christmas organising for today:
*Finish sock money for youngest sister
*Write 10 Christmas cards
*Quick practise run of some choccies (well I've never done chocolates at home so better do a test batch right?!! )
*Get started on HM jewellery set for DHs Nanna

I think that'll be as much as I can do today as DS is in a bit of a mischievious mood Might not even get through all those things but thats the plan!

I've been feeling very Christmassy/celebratey the last couple of days, and have:

-finished all the shopping
-collected all the emergency gifts together
-wrapped all the birthday gifts for birthdays between now and December (except one, which I only ordered two days ago )
-made a list of people to receive Christmas cards
-collected their addresses
-started planning Christmas breakfast/lunch/dinner
-ordered all the gifts my husband will be giving :rotfl:
-ordered all the birthday gifts I'll be giving next year :rotfl: - in my defence I found some amazing deals on dealextreme.com and covered all birthdays for £65ish.
-put my name down to help organise a charity bakesale happening in my town and made vague plans to make snowman soup/reindeer poop packages to sell because my baking is Not Great.

This afternoon I plan to finish wrapping the Christmas presents so they're done and out of the way :eek:

Hi can i just ask do dealextreme post to the uk pls thank for your help:)

They do and it's free, but remember that if the value of your parcel is over £36 then you're liable for customs duty so make multiple orders if you're planning to spend above that amount
