Ok, own up - who started my cravings for kit kats :P

I can think of worse things........ one of my friends it was soap and another was house bricks! :rotfl:

[Also, going to make everyone a chocolate sleigh but my question is won't the chocolate melt if hot glue is attached? Probably make some reindeer noses and wrapped chocolate bars too for the OH as a little extra. (Who's ever blog that is I can't remember sorry, you've inspired me!).]

i know others have said it but yes - use sticky dots, sticky foam pads/ double sided sticky tape.

Cherry, does your Nan have a favourite scent? Did she have a favourite scented flower? Maybe a pot pourri pillow with that in?Smell evokes memories sometimes and even if it doesn't its a nice thing that she won't tire of. I'm sure that the other wonderful ladies will have many suggestions

This is a great idea.
Also (sorry I forgot to quote it) the person who suggested the microwave ones. me and my littlies (and most of my family) have various animal ones . can't find the website they orginally came from but these are the sort of thing.

Hello, has anyone found some good Christmassy blogs? Not just with things to make, but just generally Christmassy feeling? I love the American country feel. I've searched but I find blogs hard to find unless I come across it through someone else. X

For the baby what about buying a money box? I do also like your blanket idea. A highchair toy? I can't think of anything else :rotfl:

For your sister could you make her a girlie night hamper? a couple of chick flicks, popcorn, drink, facemask, nail file, body butter that kind of thing?

impossible as you can only order 4 free items only 1 of each after that it automatically charges for other items and the cheapest postage is £6.30 ,so even accounting for quidco you would be paying £1-30

I did 2 orders, one after the other one p&p was £5 something and one was £4 something:)

Love the Christmas cupboard, very envious I have to say! Think this has inspired me to clear out the back cupboard/hall and have this as a christmas room - I can tell you now that no way will it be as near organised lol.

That masks a bit freaky tho lol!

Look what I found today.......

Yay :-)

I have also decided to make my stockings so going to make a start at the end of this week, I want them rather vintage so will be making them out I burlap and trim with organza and silk ribbon and cute little wooden buttons :-)

I was also thinking of giving my brother and his other half one filled with goodies for their Xmas presents this year, and presented in a nice box what do you think?
