I have no idea either. Just googled it and got this



Unazukin Dot Doll

Dot is one of the colourful Japanese dolls that can answer your questions. Why not ask it your question?
The Unazukin dolls nod their heads for a 'Yes' or shake their heads for a 'No'


Is this what your all on about?

I keep trying to go to another page because i thought there was a recipe for xmas pudding vodka in here somewhere but i may be wrong

I know its on the xmas board somewhere :rotfl:

Well lucky for you, ccastley pm'd me it

Christmas Pudding Vodka
Hands-on time: 10min, plus sterilising and maturing; makes 1.3 litres (2¼pint)

1 litre bottle vodka
4tbsp dark brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
Peel of 1 orange and 1 lemon
25g (1oz) each currants, raisins and dried fi gs, halved if large

1 Sterilise a large, 1.3 litre (2¼pint) bottle or glass container, either by running through a dishwasher cycle or washing in hot soapy water, rinsing, then drying on a baking tray in the oven for 20min at 150°C (130°C fan) mark 2.
2 Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl or jug and put into the sterilised container or bottle. Seal with a cork or screw cap.
3 Leave for two weeks in a cool, dark place, turning the container occasionally to agitate the ingredients.
4 Use a funnel lined with a coffee filter paper to decant the liquid into pretty sterilised bottles of your choice. Add a fresh piece of lemon and orange peel and a fresh cinnamon stick, then cap.
53cals, 0g fat, 2g carbs (2g total sugars) per 25ml (1fl oz) serving

WRAP UP FOR CHRISTMAS…
and label with serving suggestions and a drink-by date. The vodka will keep for up to three months and is wonderful in cocktails, or served over ice with tonic and a slice of orange.

Both from Good Housekeeping November 2007

Thanks everyone for posting the pics of all your lovely hampers. It really inspired me and last night i finished and wrapped my very fist hamper for my mum. It's a pamper hamper and i know she'll be very pleased when she receives it.
I have to finish wrapping the other 5 i have put together and then i'll take some pics and post them on for you all to see.

Well guys I hadnt forgotten about you all...has been a total nightmare trying to get the baskets etc for my hampers BUT I have succeeded FINALLY

Went into town with my 2 kids last Saturday and bought 2 small baskets from Wilkinsons, they didnt have anymore and there was nothing at all suitable (basket or gift wise) from any of the shops where I live, and to think I spent £8.80 on bus fare to get into town !!!

So I decided to go online and done some looking around (alot infact) and ordered online from Wilkinsons, An hour ago they delivered and I am so chuffed at the baskets I ordered.

So far I have the following ~
Sons, girlfriends parents
1 wicker basket (quite large), 1 large chocolate fleece (very soft)
On order for delivery 2moro & Friday ~ 2 small bottles of wine (red & white), wine glasses & chocolates (candles still to buy next week)

The remaining items will all be arriving by the end of the week for her brothers basket (chocs, mini chocs & a mug) as for my friends basket, I cant tell you what she is getting anymore as she has registered on here lol so I dont want to spoil the surprise for her.

I am now totally and utterly stuck on sons girlfriends hamper, found out she loves the colour lilac (oh I was wishing it was pink lol) She now has an empty basket which I need to fill with something other than make-up.
I am going to get her a name mug from Clintons (the bubblegum mugs) & a magic scarf, gloves & sockies, maybe some bath bombs/fizzers other than that I am like arghhhh.

Will post pics of the baskets (probably unwrapped) beginning of next week, so you can all see/advise hehe

Hope I would have done you all proud on this board, I am so excited about the final outcome of these, I cant wait to get all the items

Will update you soon

Hi Silverangel35
Tesco's have 6 lilac roses for £2.00. The roses disolve in the bath and smell of lavender. They are really pretty and in a box.

Hope this helps.

silverangel35

They sound adorable, unfortunately I have no Tesco near me atall and have to have Tesco delievered for my groceries, I am guessing these are in store only as they dont appear to be able to be bought online. But I am sure somewhere will do them...will put them on my list of all things lilac & see if I can get them in Brighton. If I can get them anywhere, I should be able to find them there

Thank you so much nan
