WOW Rusty, those hampers are FAB. FAB, FAB :T Can I become your bestfriend so I get a lovely pressie? I bought those bath crayons from Tesco this week for my kiddies box of Xmas Eve goodies

I've just ordered some cellophane cones to make my snowman soup look more attractive. Got candy canes from Sainsbury's last week as love the idea of using them to stir the marshmallows into the chocolate. Talk about sugar overload :eek: Thinking of getting the OH a mug so I can do him snowman soup too.

I feel bad now as haven't done much with my xmas prep recently I need to get OH a nice stocking, anyone seen any nice ones for not much £? Going to have another sort out of all the stuff I've bought to see if I can finish off any more pressies.

Someone mentioned about a verse for reindeer food. I've got this one written down...
Sprinkle on the lawn at night
The moon will make it sparkle and bright!
As Santa's Reindeer fly and roam
This will guide them to your home!

Another reindeer food poem...

It's the night
before Christmas
and all through
the house,
everyone's eaten
even the mouse!
You give Santa cookies
and a glass of milk too
But don't forget Rudolph
Give him some food!
Open this bag
and sprinkle outside
Hop into bed
Santa's soon to arrive

MERRY CHRISTMAS

How cute is that!

Another one...
When Santa's sleigh is full of toys,
ready for Christmas day
Use this special Christmas Dust
To help him find his way.

Sprinkle it outside your door
The glitter will give the light
The reindeer will smell the oats
And bring Santa on Christmas night.

And another (I'll stop now!)...
On christmas eve sprinkle this magic reindeer food on your path.
The magic glitter sparkling in the moonlight and the smell of the oats will guide santa and his reindeers to your house.

I got my son some Wall:e short pjs a couple of months ago in Tesco. They may have long legged ones too?

Your hampers look ace, I'm going to do some this year for the first time, I will put pics up as and when I do them, I have almost got my SIL one finnished so will try to get camera set up for taking pic.

Just a wee thought on using newspaper at the bottom to bulk out what I have done is to buy approx £2.00 of crepe paper and i think it justs gives a nice touch, hth:o

popcorn at about 65p in supermarkets would be cheaper.... Just a thought...;)

If you need to pad out the bottom of baskets etc, you could use newspaper then cover it with crepe paper....:money: yet still attractive
