Im new to this so I want to pick some brains -
Shelley3774 - where did you get the basket with the blackboard on it?
laurawaite - where did you get the jellybelly bath gels?
rustyflange - where did you get the large cupcake holders? I ordered them from the internet but they are 5 cm wide and 5cm tall and so are too small?
rainmac - same cupcake case question and where did you get the blackboard hearts from?
threelittlepigs - same cupcake case question?

Please reply as Im feeling creative for Christmas and you's have totally inspired me!

sorry hun i don't think it was me that had the jelly belly bath gels, i am only just starting to plan my hampers so haven;t got hardly anything yet! either that or i am getting extremely old and have posted something and have totally forgotten about it hopefully someone else can help you though...

i ordered 2 of these today to be the basis of my friends allotment hamper and also to make my nan a gardening hamper for her bday
http://www.clearance.24studio.co.uk/Storefront/TodaysOffersHome.aspx (pink gradening set - £2.49)
the only thing is the postage is a fiver but i bought a few other items so still worthwhile, just hope i get the delivery ok as have only used 24 studio twice before and both times had problems! (being overcharged, late delivery etc)
might be worth a look though? they also have nice personalised items - some kids pjs and some swimming bags etc.

rainmac - thanks for the teddy reindeer link - feel verytempted to get one to add to baby grandsons 'christmas eve' box.

I'm being a bit DIY (call it 'meanie') with my snowman soup.............just going to put a chocolate sachet in a christmas mug (sure I've got one with a snowman on somewhere) with somemarshmallows.........printed out a label from internet and I'll put it in a cellophane bag.

Reindeer food is going is cellophane bag inside emoty gravy granule tub with some gold paper round the outside and a label stuck on it.

Actually - might put the snowman soup in another empty gravy granule tub then my son can keep them year after year.

It was me who had the JellyBelly bath gel. They came in a variety of colours from Tesco's for either 99p or £1.49 sorry can't remember exactly but they were with the childrens bath toys on the shampoo/conditioner aisle.

Thanks Rainmac, really appreciate all of your help will look into the cello bag things they look fantastic

Will go through and click thanks buttons later on, sorry but had some awful news this afternoon and at the minute can't think straight or anything else

Thanks guys, things will be fine, OH has taken over and stopped me from ignoring it all.

Cut a long story short my Ex (my sons real dad) stopped seeing him when we moved up to the north east. he is dragging me back through the courts and trying to make me travel so he can see his son and also demanding he has split custody and has him every christmas etc. Not taking into account I have my daughter etc. I recieved the letter and just broke down. My son saw him for the first time a couple of weeks ago (first time in 7 months) but in all of this he is pushing to have full custody and I just can't bear the thought of someone like him looking after my son as he is only doing it to spite me That ontop of everything else is just about destroying me. so if I upset anyone on here then I apologise now as my mind isn't on my replys at the minute but the posts and crafty things are keeping me sane at the moment.

Sorry for ranting ... off for a cuppa and a cuddle with my babies xxx

rainmac

Rusty, so wish I lived round the corner to give you a big hug and make that blooming cuppa for you. I'd then jump in the car and knee your ex where it hurts. God I so feel for you. Sorry to sound boring now but are you getting proper advice? Citizens Advice would be able to point you in the right direction.
