rainmac love that hamper :T your mum and dad will too.

I know you mentioned this a while ago but am trying to catch up with older posts and just want to say well done to your mum for being so positive and wish her all the best.

My cellophane has arrived so hopefully I can get mine photographed, wrapped, photographed again and shared on here shortly.
Great hampers by the way, some fabulous bargains too!

Hi Maria,

DVDs, books, mix to make some cookies for Santa, a paper plate to decorate to put Santa's snack on, some paper & pen to write a note to Santa, reindeer food, Xmas themed colouring pages (loads of free ones on internet), some crayons, paper chains...sorry running out of ideas now...

Have you seen the Xmas Eve Hamper thread, may have more/better ideas on there!

fab hamper and cross stich, and thanks didn't realise there was an xmas eve thread, silly me lol

When printing the front page I chose to print it as a full size Fax., Make sure you save the picture to your comp first and then do it from your documents. x

the nestle cereal i know defo do the promotions are nestle golden nuggets and nestle cookie crisp. Asda have them at 2 for £2 at the moment. Maybe it would be easier to go instore to ensure you get a promo pack. x

rainmac - super hamper -again ! You always come up trumps !:T

ikkle - I did one of those newspaper pages for each of the grandchildren and tried to print it as A4 but it's not very good. Have to look at my printer properties to see if I can do it like a fax ............does look good in a frame.
I was just going to roll mine up like a scroll

Hi I just looked at a whisky set that I'd bought in a Debenhams sale and that includes a small bottle of whisky, but also includes a hand-warmer (probably for winter picnics? lol), and one hip flask - presumably for the men? and a funnel to decant the whisky into the hip flask.

There's a picture of a funnel here:
