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.

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.:love: married to the man of my dreams! 9-08-09

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!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

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.
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
