This is fab - and love the wee choccie bars for when the hard work's done! Isn't it great how this can make a few ordinary items look special. Men are so hard to buy for too.

Ideas please for a birthday basket for my 17 year old niece who literally has 'everything'! Would also appreciate some tips on where to find the latest bargains to put into it. I've made Christmas baskets for friends and neighbours but this is my first attempt for a younger person. Thanks and I promise to post a piccie when its done

if you go on the grabbit now forum and the boots thread you will find on the first post a link for a £5 off number 7 make up voucher it runs out on saturday 14th june so be quick but you could buy her some nice make up the nail varnishes are£6.25 so with the voucher only £1.25 each and they are great products. xx
