I'm impressed with how organised I have been.
Today I went to a xmas market stall and got the following:
1. Gift basket = 1 can of john smiths, 1 john smiths pint glass that is filled with john smith flavoured fudge with white choc on the top to look like the froth. (father in law)
2. Hand painted pint glass (golf course) for my dad
3. Plastic vase x2 so one to go with my mums other pressies. You fill it with water and add your flowers, then it simply goes flat when you drain the water. No more breakable vases, loved it.
Have also got:
Mum/dad = Personalised England themed photo album (they visited from Australia in Aug)
Mum = Personalised mini purse, vase
Sister = Personalised England themed photo album as well, bracelet, personalised purse
Mother in law = radley purse (50% off at an outlet store in the week)
Brother in law = 2 jumpers
Just want to get my father in law, brother in law and my mum something else on the small side to go with the gifts.
Then done....Except for hubby but its his bday 1st in Nov.
No one else family wise to buy for.
