Morning everyone
Well I spent ages last night going through all the pages, I'm sure I saw or maybe I dreamt that someone had done a really lovely hamper using Orange and Black if I remember rightly there was Chocolate and shower gel in there and I'm sure I saw whiskey to!

I remember that one, it was gorgeous!

Not sure if I can help, I'm rubbish with girl presents having two boys

I don't see a problem with them sharing a box and the box from Asda with the cat and dog on is gorgeous!

Could make them a craft box - playdough for the 2yo and more grown up stuff for the 4yo - some pens, card/paper, stickers?

A box of stuff for their room as you mentioned - a door hanger (obviously!), a story book each, socks, hair bits (if they have long hair), chocolate coins...

Any good?

Oooh thats a good idea ... Now just need to think what I could put in it.
Thanks for the dressing up box but they are not really into that kind of thing just yet? I know they both love to make things so this one could be ideal.
I think get 2 boxes one for each and then maybe wrap them together with the door hanger as the label or something.

Will see what I can pick up crafty bits wise.

I got super cheap playdough in Sainsbury's recently - half price I think and do you have a Hobbycraft near you? I got a big set of girly stickers and embellishments for 99p. I cut all the sheets down to fit into the craft box I was making up.

Thanks Rainmac, knew I could rely on you :rotfl:yes hobbycraft is fairly local, although there is another craft shop not too far away which will probably have some pretty things in there I could use. I need to get some fifi paper for the door hanger which will have to be off ebay as I haven't seen it anywhere else and then probably pick up cheaper bits in elc as they generally have a sale on their art and crafty stuff regularly. I can picture what I want them to look like in my head but whether they do or not is a different matter lol
