    for anyone who wants tags that are a bit different, Thorntons are selling chocolate tags that can be iced for £1
  • In one of the episodes of Kirstie's Homemade Christmas (see Channel 4OD) she went to see a wrapping specialist who make lovely embellishments very simply using old bead necklaces and wire.

    Hi
    Been reading with interest about your great ideas for wrapping pressies, but my 2 nephews (aged 12 and 17) and 2 neices (aged 5 and 14) want money instead of a gift this year as they are all saving for more expensive things.
    Has anyone got any good ideas on how I can give them the money rather than just in a xmas card?? Preferably a very cheap idea :)

    How about filling an old jam jar with sweeties, and pop the gift card/money in the middle?
