hi everyone,
well not had chance to update for the last week or more. things are being gathered by the day, anywhere and everywhere i go i take my list of goodies im looking for and rough guess at what i am prepared to spend. Really enjoying myself, lots more fun than going out in a last minute panic at in december.
Anyway ...i will get to the point. stuff for 2 nieces going great guns got almost everything, pj's, socks, bathbombs, facemasks, nail stuff, mug, hot chocs, just need some chocolate. Been looking everywhere for baskets....think theres a shortage around here.....well found some today in my local morrisons, lady just putting them on the shelves, the seagrass ones with lids, got 3 sizes, 99p, £1.99 and £2.99. wishing now i had got the large one at £4.99 to do my nan a food hamper full of her favourites, maybe i will be going back later.

Slowly finding out what my nephews like.... Does anyone know were i can get Lazytown stuff at a good price ? he only has pj's so i can get him anything in the range, hes 5.

Also got my cellophane and some ribbons. Nothing put totally together yet but getting oh so close.

Really enjoying all your ideas and photos of everyones baskets superb. My hubby walked past when i was loooking at some and commented ' that looks expensive- dont forget we are trying to save money'!!! honestly he thought i was buying stuff, nice that he thought them expensive though. keep up the brill work,
bye for now.

hi there bunbun- what did you put in your hampers? photos are great, after ideas for my 5 year old nephews

forgot i have they same matalan chalkboxes but nothing yet to go in them!

How about a display case for your dad's 'babies' [yep! we've got one in the family too ] but use the compartments for a retro sweetie hamper Nutty? Those cases can be a bit of a price on their own, but given the size of the 'holes', it shouldn't be too pricey to add the sweets...

My best bud came round last evening--they've sold to a first time buyer & could be gone in as little as four weeks so I'd best get a shooftie on

Haha Im so chuffed with myself today!

Work has just started a £1 sale on lots of little random things (hats, pen sets, flip flops, mugs etc). I bought 5 things for my neice as she is a HUGE Plymouth Argyle fan and am going to make an Argyle hamper for christmas now

So chuffed, lol.

My Dad is a huge fan too! Do you work at the club? Is the sale online somewhere too? Would love to get him some bits for xmas.
