must admit i haven't either..............but then I've never been looking for them But it might just be that they are new to store.
great colour pack, really bright.

I have to say i love the idea of an annoying things basket, the perfect pressie for my uncle! (not cos hes annoying lol but he likes gadgety, quirky things:p )
So far ive finished my little sisters basket and nearly finished my sils and older sisters. Ill try to remember what ive got to put in them:

Revlon nail varnish set £1.99
Might add a pack of time delay wipes but they are £3.99 but i could get 200 points back *hmmm again:rotfl: * Anyone seen any cheap face wipes with pink packaging?

Stepdad-No idea! Will be doing a favourite things one for his birthday and done a car bucket one last xmas Was thinking maybe a beer and nibbles bucket?
Oh: We will be getting a car next week (our lovely fil is giving us his!) after a long 18 months without one! So will be doing him a car bucket, he has really missed his car as cars are his only hobby really. (doesnt drink or like football etc)

Something novelty for the car
Haribo

Etcetera etcetera;)

I love Xmas:D and birthdays and easter and anniversarys.....:rotfl:

I have been browsing this thread for a couple of weeks now, and all your baskets look lovely. I am going to do a couple for xmas, but the one that has just stood out to me is the "annoying things basket". This would be perfect for my brother who is so hard to buy for but yet into all the little gadgety things as well. Anyone have any ideas on what cheaper things I could get to put in or at least start me off. Cheers

Just received a hamper From my fab DH as its my 30th tomorrow!

Not very money saving but he'd got me a gorgeous hamper from Fortunm & Mason! Had 5 yummy cupcakes, candles with silver candle holders, bottle of champagne and very posh soap, hand lotion and hand wash! All packed in a beautiful auqa box! was lovely unpacking all the bits, wondering what i was going to find next!
