    Oh, that makes sense Sami. Are they actually selling? If not might be worth sticking on netmums as a bundle?
    they sold, 2 at 99p one at £1.20 and super annoyingly the same person bought 2 but has already paid for one which makes it a PITA coz i can't send an invoice for them together with resuced postage - booming ebayers!!!

    Im thinking for our parents im going to make them a small hamper this year.

    I am going to bake a small cake to put in, and im not sure what else.

    ASDA are doing the little alcohol gift sets for £5, but ILs dont drink anymore. So maybe a hot chocolate set?

    And i cant think of anything else to put in. Im looking through the xmas crafting ideas thread on SO and i love some of the ideas, especially the chocolate ones :)

    Do you want it to be all home made stuff or a mixture? Things I can think of off the top of my head:

    (stuff you could make or buy)
    Chutney
    crackers
    jam

    (stuff you would have to buy)
    cheese
    nuts
    pate
    freshly ground coffee

  • EA I might do the IL's a hamper this year but just send an empty box with a note saying put your presents in from last yr and open them you ungrateful !!!!!! :)

    Do it!!! :rotfl:

    Jillie what were they up to?!

    I've done my bingo posts :) Now having a sort through a load of hand-me-down clothes from my parents neighbours - need to work out what will fit now and what I need to put away for next time we go up a size. I've already found 1 top which is too small, but never mind, will save it for next time ;) I must add parents neighbours (especially their little girl) onto the "people i need to buy chocolate for" list.
