WantToBeSE

Got 2 more Christmas presents today from M&S. Got my mum the black leather gloves, and my BILs mother some shortbread.

All i have to get now:
BIL-cookery book
Sister (older)- Sanctuary smelly set
Sister (younger)- iTunes voucher

I am also making muffins for everyone this year, seeing as i have loads of muffin boxes and cases to use up!

I get odd looks cos Im forever picking them up and sniffing them, they are lined up on the hearth and i can't help myself! the Christmas Cupcake smells fantastic, ive not burned it yet but they are usually pretty similar when they are burning to how they smell cold

Ah, thanks for that. I'm not really used to using scented candles.

Maybe a little too early to buy a Christmas tree, but missed out on the one I wanted last year...so...to avoid disappointment this year I've bought my tree already! Forgot to mention, the company I bought it off are offering free mini trees with each order, what do you think? ...http://www.uniquelychristmastrees.co.uk/grand-fir-artificial-christmas-tree.html

That one looks really realistic! Like it.

:think: Hmmm...what do I want this year? I really have no idea. Hubby was going to get me a smartphone but he's being given one for work so he's giving me his.

Hubby doesn't know what he wants either but I'm toying with the idea of some golf lessons and some inexpensive clubs as a few of his mates/family play and he keeps saying we should give it a go.:think:

All this talk of yankee candles has got me craving them but I find them sooooooo expensive even though they're so nice.

Must confess I have some glade holders I put tealights in too :rotfl:

Been lurking for about a month now & have decided to come out of lurkdum thanks to the post about the elves coming to your house to deliver gifts, would really like more info on this if possible plse.

Have 2 dd who will be 3 and 5 at christmas & think they would absolutly love this.

Been shopping for a while now and got all my nephews and quite a lot for dd' although older 1 seems to have alot more than younger so gonna have to rectify that pretty soon but its her 3rd birthday Nov so it makes it really hard especially as all shes asked for both is a purple scooter & come books. Bless!

Havent really started on any adult gifts yet & have no ideas at all, grownups are always the hardest.

Trying to do my girls a juice hamper (they love cocktail stirers) with different dilute juices, plastic cup, stirers, straws etc (inc. hopefully new cravendale straws as started saving vouchers)
and was gonna do a retro sweeet hamper for bil off dd' as he comes to ours every other weekend & always brings them sweets so thought they could give him some for a change only just started so got couple of wham bars, popping candy and some jawbreakers (the firey hot ones) so far.

Knew once I started typing I'd waffle on loads which is why I stayed in lurkdum so long.

:santa2: Holidays are coming.....
