I have already bought and wrapped the presents I've got for my friends I've had since school, so they're all ready to be gifted..

do you have a matalan? they often have their jewellery on offer as well, although primark is definitely the best place.

my matalan is too far away :mad: and no jewellery online

Okay, been avoiding saying it for obvious reasons but what about Avon for jewellery? They have sets that are very affordable, some bits are good for teens, just gotta have a browse, you can order them online if you dont have a rep

Right, I have started wrapping! I normally dont do any until december but needed to get organised really. Managed about 8 presents before my little pumpkin required more attention than I was giving him so we're back in the play room now. I ordered some Christmas placemats to match my decorations from Ebay - bargain and will match my table runner perfectly! A few other table bits came today which is fab!

Also started putting the hampers together although cant wrap them as have no cellophane left. On the look out for christmassy cello with red and/ or silver print on them if poss!

Also put the finishing touches to the little chaps hand paintings that he has done for some of the family and printed the personalised stories for the kids as well as letters from Santa.

Quite pleased actually, on a bit of a roll at the moment!

some good ideas there, thank you.

ive just been looking on elc website and thinking i may also get her the nurses costume and a medical set (wont get the medical set from there as £16 seems a little excessive!!!)

most of the things she wants are really unsuitable like that barbie with the hairdryer that blows glitter (dont think so!) and all the foody gifts - choc coin maker etc which she is way too young for. she wants everything on the adverts!

Sorry hun, I've only just read back and caught up with this thread! Thanks for the post about the Daisy car on Debenhams website too, unfortunately now though the 10% off code has expired! Hopefully there'll be another one before it goes back up in price

My daughter wants everything on the adverts too! Including a Lalaloopsy doll but I don't think she'll appreciate it enough to warrant me spending £30+ on one! :eek:

I've just had a quick look at my Christmas prezzie spreadsheet and I've only bought her 2 more presents since my last post which are:

Button Moon [1980] [DVD] £2.93 - Amazon (I loved this when I was a child! )
Strawberry Shortcake Sticker Book £1.00 - Poundland (She watches Strawberry Shortcake on TV all the time!)

Anyone got any more cheap and cheerful prezzie ideas for a 3 year old?

Also, I'm really struggling for my 8 year old daughter. Last year it was easy as I could buy her anything that was HSM and she'd be pleased but that was 'sooo last year' now and it's all about iCarly this year! But I'm struggling with what to get her! Help please!

PinkPrincess my daughter loves iCarly! We've been lucky that our £1 shop has had notebooks, magnets, pencil case sets and pens all with the iCarly cast on them. Tesco also had similar stuff, I managed to get her a folder for about 80p I think it was.
Asda had iCarly story books and I got the first series on dvd from Amazon. Tesco and Asda also had iCarly toys eg figures, microphones and Sam's sound box thingy

Oh wow!Button moon was my fave too!!!Thank you,off to amazon to order one for my bro and one for me.:p:D

Fab day here Xmas shopping wise. Got:

5x scarves - very nice too, for various relatives
2x mugs from Boots
1x Nivea giftset
1x Make up set (boots)
2x nail polishes for my Nan
A few stocking bits for DS
1x make your own crackers set from £land for DS' Xmas Eve hamper

So apart from 5x vouchers (£15 each) and a couple more bits for my OH I've nearly finished Christmas shopping for 2010!!!!!! :j

Oh and I got 3 more rolls of wrapping paper (tesco - 3 for 2) and some sticky gift tags so I can now begin wrapping too!!

Must wait until payday now before finishing off :rotfl:

I managed to get an iCarly pencil case and notebook from Poundland but that was before the new school term started so she's had them already. I had a look the other day but they didn't have any iCarly merchandise that time. I also bought her the iCarly rucksack from Amazon for school. I just need to find some iCarly items for Christmas now! I've seen the microphone and I think she'll like that as she loves to sing/dance all the time. How much did you buy it for? I've seen it on Amazon for about £10 I think
