Now all you have to do is remember which 'safe place' you've hidden them in come November!

Is 1 and a half too young for an Xmas eve hamper? I bought the cutest little penguin toy from the boots 75% sale (£6 to £1.50) it comes with chocolate balls that go out of date in April but I'll munch them and replace lol and was going to start picking up cheap jammies etc for it.

Eeek, I'm so organised this year!!

Oh and all paper and tags and cards purchased in the sale. Disney paper 25p, 2 sets of cards at 50p and tags at 19p.

i echo, never too young

when i was little my gran always gave me a "nice" present and a tote bag kind of thing, in the bag was crayons, colouring books etc, and as i grew, so did the contents of the bag (age appropriate)

Although her "nice" present was a generous one
i always looked forward to my bag the most
she gave me "the bag" until she sadly died, and i was 29 years old!

Giggle........ PLEASE can you send me details of how you made the motorbike nappy 'cake'. DH's sis is pregnant and as her partner is obsessed with his bike it would be a FAB idea.

Loving the other things tooo.
Cheers.
