    Hi lydia82 I recognise those hampers from Wilkinsons I bought some to put things in for a boot sale. Good value aren`t they and look lovely when wrapped with tempting goodies. :j

    I have found some welly warmers online but shooting sticks are very expensive. :eek:

    Bought a 5.00 hobgoblin gift set in Sainsburys for Xmas hamper. They have got quite a few nice gifts the little mumm champagne with jackets seems to be flying off the shelfs, though if part of there three for two it would work a good offer.

    Might see how much a small laminator is and write them out some recipes too (printer is broken).

    poundland sell laminating sheets (25 in a pack). you can use them without a machine - just pop a tea towel over the sheet an use your iron and hey presto a laminated sign / recipe etc. good for those on a budget.

    Paddington, ikkle and Lydia - just wanted to say your pressies look lovely.

    Rusty I spotted the same offer as you on the coffee - I thought I might pick up some extra magazines and get one every time I go in!

    On the sock muffins - I've decided socks in mugs is the one way to go - it could just be because I'm too tight and lazy to buy the cases off e-bay tho!

    I did manage to pick up a second free spiral knife at a Tesco instore demo today - RRP £3.99 so was quite chuffed about that!

    I like socks in mugs too - the ones in my baskets have just been tied with organza ribbon as the cases wouldn't show anyway. :p

    I'm too tight to pay for cases - lol - why does postage seem to have gone through the roof on eBay just now? Would rather pay a bit more on the item - squeak squeak!
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    If you get the free Asda's magazine, near the back is a page of vouchers which include some free coffee pods from Dolce Gusto:j So if you picked up lots of magazines - you could get a free pack every time you go!
