    To whoever was asking about High School Musical stuff - New Look have some of their stuff in the sale, I got a pen with 8 different colours and Zac Efron's face on for 50p (down from £2), also Tesco have back to school stationery 3 for 2 and there's a pretty big range of HSM stuff there too.

    Also, in my local cinema they had a pile of fold out A2 posters of the HSM3 graduation picture, they're free to pick up and you can take as many as you want!

    Hello, my name is Siobhan, I'm 31 and I'm a High School Musical-aholic... :D

    Hiya x

    You just need to keep your eye out really - people tend to post good bargains on this thread. Tesco do some cheap crome mini shopping basket style ones which look good.

    I can't believe how busy you've all been since about midnight last night! So many posts. Some lovely hampers - I've been too busy on quidco and trying to sort out house.... I think I perhaps need to start doing some kids hampers next. I've got plenty of materials ;)

    love the baskets for your children Rusty. I am in the process of making one for my daughter ready for when the baby arrives.

    So far it includes;
    Personalised towel
    Handmade bracelet
    Big sister photo frame

    any other ideas?

    Hiya x I assume you mean gifts for Mum rather than the baby?

    I would of loved a voucher for someone to take away a basket of my ironing!
    Some magazines / puzzle books for waiting around
    sleep / eye mask
    Face mask
    hand cream
    Nighties - Primark ones were perfect and v. cheap
    Beauty voucher - I had a spa day when my LO was 6 weeks old and it was lovely.
    You could put together a set of travel things for your daughter to out in her hospital bag.
    Slippers.
    Notelets / Thank You cards for your daughter to send out.
    Birth Announcement cards
    lip gloss.
    hand held fan - oh the sweats post pregnancy!

    I think she is the mum and its a present for her daughter so that she doesnt feel left out when the new baby (the daughters sibling) is born.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

  • alison - I am the one having the baby :P any of those presents would be lovely!

    Putting together a hamper for my 3 year old as a present from the baby.
