Hello all. I put this in another post. Amazon has a lot of nice 'gifts for mum' at the moment -worth a look: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=best+mum+gifts&x=0&y=0#/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gifts+for+mum&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Agifts+for+mum

or maybe some ideas from here

I love the craft survival kit but the pattern has to be paid for. Anyone know where I could get one for free that I can personalise?

Thanks

You can make the kit yourself I have made some other kits like this in the past.
If you read the list it is mostly stuff that either you already might have or is cheap to buy ie. toothpicks/cocktail sticks, the hershey kisses can be substuted for harribo lips, then just copy the little poem in your own hand writing. All the bits can be put in a nice little decorated jar, tin or box
Hope this helps

Thanks for that but I just wanted the pattern for the actual bag because I need to post it. You are dead right though it is easy to make and collect all the bits. Harribo lips are a great idea, not thought of that one. I am going to make one for my firend as she is having her baby next week. Thought I'd make a handbag bag with a radley style gift tag with the poem and the list of gifts. I have now found a nice template for a bag but not sure what to print it on. The ones in the picture look fab. Carfty people any ideas please.

Ahh so simple wrapping paper. Hmm think I could do a nice big handbag bag. Will have aplay at the weekend then and go hunting for Haribo lips (not in the UK so not as easy to find).

Thank you very much

Has anyone tried out createyourowngifts.co.uk looks like quite a good idea and think my mum would quite like one of these mugs
