Hey Rusty!
I'm in Bordon which is about a 30 min drive from Portsmouth. I think I will have to wait for the Southampton Ikea to open and check it out then! I checked the Hobbycraft site and they tell me the Southampton one is closest. I think I may have to get a trip in before Christmas.

50 ish miles to your nearest ikea then (croydon)

22 miles to hobbycraft havant
39.9 miles to hobbycraft southampton :eek:

Just look on it as a day out having fun tell your OH he can't moan

Looks like I'm off to Havant then hehe. The other half has already said that he is dreading taking me there because it will be very hard to get me out again hehe

:rotfl: I do this for my lot too Crystal
Sons will have a wash bag box filled with 'useful' smellies/shave gel/razors etc I have been buying throughout the year - these I would have to buy anyway so they will just get a bulk of them at xmas which is another parcel to open:rolleyes:
& me muvva calls it being stingey SIZE=1]sp![/SIZE But crimbo wouldn't be crimbo without soz & smellies would it Where I normally get budget nikki-nax & own label, I do splash out a bit & get whatever "branded" is on the best offer

Aww Mary!--I didn't mean any offense! Just knowing how much you're like me, I was trying to be helpful :doh: Are you sure we're not related? cuz I read these threads & think "oooh! never thought of that!" scribble myself a cryptic clue & then forget what my shorthand means :wall: I didn't want to be responsible for making your list grow any longer

Us Southerners are really getting short-shrift in the good deal stakes don't you think? No Poundland, Ikea, HomeBargains, Asda...the list goes on...even our local Wilkos are still selling seeds at full price But No1 offspring has a couple of days off this week & has suggested an outing to Ikea :j --probably the one near Lakeland--another place I fancy exploring--& seeing as I'm not driving, even more :j for me!

Well in the midst of making up nappy cakes for Saturdays stall I decided to do a twist and stop my hamper addiction having withdrawel symptons, so just quickly put together 2 hampers (new baby)
Contents:
5 x activefit nappies (size 3)
1 pair of white fluffy socks
1 vest
1 sleepsuit
1 big bottle of baby wash
1 pack of wipes
1 pair of bootees
1 teddy
should look lovely wrapped but can't wrap them just yet.




Should I add some more? or leave it as it is?

rusty - that looks fine as it is.................really cute cat:T

BMF - no offence taken honest.........just my brain not being in 'understanding' mode...............and as for lists...............I seem to create my own problems there by thinking of yet more 'stuff to do/make'.............plus can't resist looking on here for yet more ideas.
Planning for Christmas this year is lasting all year long.................lol:rotfl:

I think the baskets look great as they are rusty! They'd be great for people on a smaller budget next to the nappy cakes.

Thats what I was thinking Cinny. I plan to take a whole range as I do small nappy cakes / cupcakes and my prices start from £4 upto £20 so everything stays cheap. not sure on the pricing of the basket as yet. Need to wait for OH to come home so he can sort some prices out for me

Thanks Mary the little teddys are from Asda and only £1
