Hope your all doing well and little Lexie (lovely name) is OK. Love to all of you - would love to see a picture xx

Hi - thank you so much. I'm hoping to do a family hamper for us all, a pamper hamper for my SIL and a Night In Hamper for my IL and FIL.

A family hamper could still contain most of the things on my list, Except you may need a lot more of the sweets and pjs etc lol.
If I were doing a family hamper I'd probably keep it mostly the same except add a bottle of wine and some pjs for me in it.
I watch the xmas movie and eat the sweets with DS anyway and do the crafts sets and colouring with him as well so really i suppose i get enjoyment out of it as well .:)

I'm not sure DS would understand if the elf decided to leave a bottle of wine and some grown up pjs in the box though :rotfl:

Good evening fellow christmas-lovers. Have today found out that my parents have decided to go away for xmas, and as my brother wants to spend his first xmas with his new gf & her kids, that means it will only be me, dh, dds 12 & 5, and fil on christmas day. Im kinda looking forward to a quieter christmas, but as I usually host 10-12, its going to be very different. I would like to do a special homemade dinner table thing as there will be a lot more room. I purchased a lovely black table cloth with little silver reindeer & snowflake design back in Jan sales so want to work around this. But I have no clue what i can make for napkin rings, cutelry holders or the dreade centre piece! So if any of you have seen any patterns, sites, or come across anything whilst out and about that could be suitable, please let me know. As I say, i really have no idea, im not too great at drawing so im open to any suggestions. Thankyou in advance :rudolf:

I bought a fish bowl type glass vase a few years ago (from mr t's but lot of places like Amazon sell them). I fill it with Christmas baubles of various sizes & colours & looks really effective as a centre piece. You could fill with silver & black baubles.

I've also seen reindeer napkin holders before. Or you might find some snowflake napkin holders. Will try to remember where from. If you're any good at sewing, you could get some black material & silver material & make some napkins to alternate around the table.

Thankyou, I like the idea of the centrepeice, I have a short fat vase that should do perfectly, and i may even have black & silver baubles in the loft! Im no good at sewing so might have to buy napkins, pls let me know if you see any reindeer holders :rudolf:
