Love the mugs! - I always use those Lakeland sweet bags as party bags as the themed ones are a ridiculous price

fuzzy felt 75p, plates £1,

I read your list too quickly and thought you said 'fuzzy felt plates'. The idea is quite exciting.

I was just going to say in regard to the basket prices, I almost bought some baskets (technically labeled as for laundry) for 99p each, so all of these seem quite expensive in comparison

Boohoo went all the way to Boots in the rain for the Soap and Glory stuff and they had ran out of the gift sets. Offer ends on Tuesday so I reckon I am gonna be unlucky!!

wow mary 3 fab boxes.
when you look in the charity shops do you buy thingsand then allocate them later or do you buy with someone in mind?
I see you have made a towel yule log for your son, what size towels have you used? could be a variation on the flannels...:rotfl:
