  • Got some moshi figures in B and M yesterday for £12.99 - I'll buy the DS game closer to xmas.

    I'm going to do the present a day MAYBE for DD depending on things, but I was going to give christmas DVD's on a Friday or Saturday night leading up to xmas (I've already got 4 from charity shops and found a shop that does 3 for £5) so I've over done it really for on christmas day - they'll never get watched if she gets them all on xmas day. I was thinking tickets to something - I need to find something reasonable - I can't afford £100 for the 3 of us for something with some minor celeb in!!! Chocs - snap. The elf delivered DD a slanket after a particular cold day so maybe those hand heat things on the way to school one morning or something that is needed at that time???

    24 things for OH - lord that would be hard, boxing or sport!! He has a strenuous job so I got him radox once and he never relaxes in the bath - he just showers - and the eternal ... socks and pants !!

    love the idea of an edvent calendar for your b/f - i always get hubby a choccy one but i might steal this idea - sounds great! I definately think vouchers are a good idea.

    silly question probably - but i noticed you saying sil was having 2nd baby, and they're not on your list, just thought i'd point that out if you'd forgotten - sorry if not!

    everything else looking good - theres lots of websites (wowcha, groupon etc) that you can get local deals so may be able to get a spa day cheap, also sign up on facebook to local spa's.

    I realised it looked like I had forgot after I'd posted - we haven't I've plans for the eldest (3years) he's getting some new baking bits (he's obsessed thanks to me and his grandma :P) and some Ben10/dinosaur bits. For baby we've just been asked to get some vouchers and that's maybe going to be easiest I think. Although I may buy a little outfit if I can pick one a cow of sizes bigger up cheap like I did for friends last year just as an extra.

    I;ve been saving boxes and tubes in different sizes to disguise all the different gifts in the advent calendar hehe
