Sorry just quickly didn't want to run and ignore then forget,.

I am doing this... Have only seen star wars PJ's in Asda and I think I saw them in woolworths but they were the clone wars which is the new film out at the cinema so not sure if any good, ebay do lego star wars ones (yes I know all the right places cause my Thomas is mad on them)
As for books there is a lovely christmas book by Rod campbell (he wrote dear zoo) the book is called dear santa, we already have this so I plan to stick this in a basket so they don't get too many new things before christmas (yes I know I am cheating)
book cover looks like this


I am sticking in a couple of cups which you will already have from your santa soup. and I am also doing a bath toy (rubber duck or crayons or something similar) I also plan to put in a bath bomb (lush ickle bath bomb - my son loves these) and if I can find my list later on I will tell you the rest lol ... I have the reindeer food etc and a nice pack of biscuits for a snack before bed. will try and find my list.

Got the Star Wars pjs from Asda today - thanks Rusty! They are fab, Jack is going to LOVE them Also ordered a santa rubber duck for the bath from ebay. Bit silly but very cute!!!

I wish I had known about ideas like this when my two were younger (they are only 7 and 10 but too old for bath toys, christmas books,etc - shame!) I think a Christmas eve basket is a fab idea. I might still do one with pjs, hot choc, dvd and popcorn.

Sounds great bunbun! I'd like that for a pressie I always buy the boys pyjamas for Xmas, it makes more sense to give them to them on Xmas Eve so they can wear them on Xmas Day whilst opening their pressies.

Rusty I know your little boy loves Star Wars have you seen the Duck Fader - its a glow in the dark rubber duck for the bath LOL - i thought it would be a great stocking or hamper filler. I'm going to get some for my boys.

They are out of stock here but you can get them elsewhere.

Fab Rainmac Glad you managed to get some

Shelley they are not yet in the UK. I preordered one from firebox last weekend due out in december and used a £5 code for it aswell as cashback through quidco making the duck approx £2.50 thanks for the link though ... might have to get the storm trooper one for OH lol

They are great aren't they - fab price at £2.50. They've got them at https://www.gadgets.co.uk but with delivery it works out at £10 each. Thats a bit steep!!!!
My little Harri loves Darth Vader and stormtroopers. Jake is not so keen he's the oldest and prefers Mickey Mouse LOL:rotfl:

OK, this is the picture I've made to use on the front of my DVD box for my "Girls Night In" present - any comments?

What a great idea I'd ask how you did it, and what it looks like finished, but I'd only get confused

lilian1977

It took a while - I used Microsoft Publisher and just looked for pictures on Google image search that had fairly white backgrounds, moved them all around until they looked ok then saved it as a .jpg. Then opened it in Paint and tidied bits up.

I'll post the DVD box and full hamper when it's done

Unfortunately my three were blessed with an out-&-out nutta for a mother They're all in their twenties now, but I still get a thrill out of finding bits like this for them...Life is far too serious at the best of times--just down-right :eek: this year--so anything to lighten the mood is more than welcome in this household :j

I'm not sure why it is saying those ducks are pre-order, I got my OH one last year :S Out of all the options I got him a Leia!! What is it with men loving Star Wars!! I just saw an Artoo pepper mill on play.. might have to get him that
