Oh fabulous thank you! I remember buying willy shaped biscuits as a secret santa gift a couple of years ago so I suspected they may have had other stuff, thanks for confirming, will hold off now to see what they have. I get 25% off there even on the 20% off weekends so shall just wait till then a fill up his hamper then!

My friend looked at me like I was crazy when I said I was doing a naked lady hamper hahaha

I've bought toffee bonbons to make into little packets of 'Snowballs'. I also bought some lemon flavoured ones which are obviously yellow.

Has anyone got any poems or could come up with one - along the lines of 'Don't eat yellow snow' etc. Thanks in advance.

went into town yesterday and got my newphes x-mas present for £3! in ethels they had a closing down sale and bogof on all sale items, managed to get him 2 t-shirts for free. a shirt for £1.50 and trousers to go with the shirt for £1.50 saving £10 so now will just get him a little something and he is done. also got 3 quite big gift bags, for both my brothers hampers, not going to bother with boxes for them just going to wrap all their things up put them in the bags and cellophane over them. my youngers brother is almost done may just get him some sweets or a dvd. my older brother so far has one top and a pack of socks so got to get cracking on his. and doing my mum and dad mini hampers to go with their main gifts. on holiday this week so will be trying to get everything done when i get back. everyone else seems to be doing really well putting me too shame although now my x-mas box is getting pretty full so may need another one before long.

help me - please.

I'm doing this for my nanna and grandad for christmas thought I'd add some other vegetable related things (t-towels, placemats) - any one got any suggestions or know anywhere that sells them (cheaply please as once this is framed it'll have cost me a fair bit).

don't really want to add seeds etc as they have had a veg garden but can't tend to it as much now and have not replaced things as they have died.
Thanks. I have looked on ebay but nothing has sprung up yet.
