presents, themes and fun

This year my whole family decided that enough was enough re the cost of presents plus the crazy time searching aimlessly in crowded shops. We have decided on a theme eg playing and a cost maximum eg £12

It has been so much fun because every time we go anywhere we are aware of the theme and we have seen some lovely unusual items suitable for gifts. The theme can be broken down any which way eg playing-board games-wooden toy-cds-dvd-instrument and so on

The theme for my family has been `writing` and the max cost £10. You wouldn`t believe the lovely, funky items I have found. It seems to have put the `fun` back into christmas
