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

I got the microphone in Homebargains for £4.99 HTH

I honestly can't remember how much I paid for the microphone but it wasn't £10!

yummymummy1987- my christmas dvds are allsorts of things, the night before the night before christmas, the christmas choir, a wonderful life (never seen it so far!) and still waiting for nativity to come.

have all the usual dvds too, home alones, national lampoon, the holiday etc, i just loveeeeeeeeeeeee the christmas films (even when the plots weak n cheesy). they are all now sitting and waiting for me at the side off the tv and i swear they keep waving to me to put them on !! dont know how much longer i can wait. cds ready to go too , think i might put one on shortly, got some painting to finish and it might help me along alittle.

desparate for payday so i can get more gifts sorted, 2 cards left to buy and christmas ckae will be appearing at the begining of november. cant make my mind up between nigellas recipe or the hairy bikers. always done delia before but fancy a change.

love the idea of the christmas eve hampers but mine are teenagers, 17 and 19, so apart rom pjs bath bombs and chocs im a bit stuck.

Here are a few ideas!

Slippers
Mug & Hot Choc Sachets (I usually buy the Options sachets - think they're 4 for £1 at Tesco and put them in the mug!)
Hot Water Bottle
Eye Mask
Bubble Bath
Face Mask (Sachets are £1 available from most stores eg. Boots, Superdrug, Tesco etc.)
Bar of fave chocolate
Festive chick flick DVD (£3 most places)
Small bottle of wine (For 19 year old - £2 most supermarkets)

I'll post some more ideas as I think of them but it depends on what you're daughter's are interested in!

DD3 perfume free (as she has excema) shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, moisturisers, white chocolate,etc
DD4 Strawberry, filled with strawbery shampoo, conditioner, perfume spray,strawberry fizzy laces (her faves!) etc.
also did some movie night hampers with DVD's, popcorn, bottles of coke, Dr pepper etc, bags of sweets, they went down really well with the teens!

movie hampers are always winners with teens.
what are his interests? if he is into drawing a arty hamper would be a good idea.
ill try to think of more.


well we've just had ds's ben10 bike delivered so thats him officially finished :j
also delivered a new doll for dd! i have about £30 left to spent on her. im trying to decide between nurses outfit and medical set or the fur real frenzies hamster things - like the go go hamster things. ive seen a playset with two hamsters somewhere for £30.
just have to decide now!

i think i might pop in town on sunday and finish dd's present off and also boots have the £12 when you spend £50 event all this weekend so might actually get started on family.

things are a little tight this year so ive decided to get everyone a gift from boots in the 3for2 as a token gift. then if i actually manage to come up with a bigger budget i can add to their gifts with things taht are a little more thoughtful and personal!
and if my financial situation doesnt change at least everyone will actually have something off us.

ive spent the past couple of afternoons with dd whos 2 making little stockings :T i dont know if anyones seen them in home bargains? but they have some pack for 99p and you can make 4 stockings in each box. they are made of felt and have the holes already cut out for sewing (cotton and childfriendly needles included) and all the sticky felt in ready cut xmas shapes to decorate them.
dd is really enjoying making them they are very easy even for her to sew up!
i bought 6 boxes so when we've finished we'll have 24 and im going to get some of the min ipegs from wilkinsons and stick them to some xmassy ribbon top make a advent calendar out of. i reckon at a push you could fit 2x little boxes of smarties in there or anything smaller. so should be nice. i need to do some with ds too so i can say the kids made it!
