Preparing for Christmas 2011

mum2one

I've gone throu all my xmas stock, and have allocated them, managed about 3/4 stuff sorted, and got 3/4 presents done, did look at the wrapping paper, but not yet.
Due to DD, to be on safe side, put by 2 boys presents and 2 girls presents incase of emergency. xx

Its been a long time since I really had to buy presents for little people that small, under one they usually don't give a hoot about christmas - its more for the parents and grandparents lol. My 2nd DD was 2 months old for her first Christmas and slept thru the majority of it, and the following year she just looked bewildered - but by her 3rd Xmas (Aged 2) her sister had a shock lol!

Anyway, I have always found Boots a great place to get toys and clothes for babies and toddlers, especially when they have their 3 for 2 offers on.

JD I normally get the baby friends little book sets, Book Bargains Direct normally have a good selection and you can tailor them to the right age range. This is nice and this is awesome. Delivery is free over £5.

Thanks for all the help with my ginger hamper, there are some great ideas. I love the 'Ninja Bread men' cutters.

Hello can i join this thread?

Me and my mum are having a tough year , my dad (her husband of 22 yrs) left us for another woman in April this year basically without going in to , to much detail the house is likely to be taken off us in 30 days ect ect bills up to our eyes because he (the main breadwinner) made a heck of promises that he never stuck to and lead us to believe things were being paid and he was happy about it.

So , we still want a lovely Xmas for me(19) my mum(52) and my brother who is deaf has terrets and server aspergers syndrome)from of autism) and my uncle staying with us.

Anywho

This is all I have managed to buy so far.

For my brother - A t shirt from primark £2.00 , and I got these great deals from play.com

Family guy pint mug reduced to 2.99
clevland show t shirt reduced to 2.99
Guinuss book of world records tea and biscuits mug. reduced to 1.99.

I done some lovely(if i say so myself) hampers last year which went down a treat but like others would be interested in making fudge and cookies ect for people. x

Hi junior. If you enjoyed doing the hampers and want to do some food hampers this year, have a look at post number 5. I'm sure there'll be recipes on there to make your own too as well as hundreds of other ideas
