sooo pleased, dh is usually a typical xmas grinch "u spend too much" ... "why are u looking at christmas paper in july?" and, my personal favourite "we are NOT watching a christmas movie in october", however, i just casually mentioned a bargain pressie i had seen for eldest dd, and he asked me what i wanted for xmas, i reeled off the usual perfume, sexy undies, chocolates etc "oh and id love for us to do each other stockings", and to my suprise his response was "thats a lovely idea, what budget? shall i do u one of those xmas eve hampers you do me & kids too?", i thought he was taking the michael but he said i work so hard all year making xmas magical for him & kids, he really wants to do the same for me! i picked myself up off the floor in time to see him browsing the web for 'xmas stocking' and humming rudolph the red nosed reindeer! i darent tell him that his response tonight is the best xmas gift ever, i dont want my new santa husband to dissapear!

Left the kids with hubby and sneaked out for an afternoons shopping with my mum

Dobbies has got their Christmas stuff out now - most of it's a bit expensive but I like to look I did pick up a few sweets and things to put away.

Also spotted these hamper boxes.
I got one of the Purple ones myself for £2.50 (making a Scottish themed hamper for FIL) but and the bigger ones with the lid are £3.50 which I didn't think was too bad a price as they are a good size






Also had a look in BHS, but I'm not buying from there when I know they will knock their prices down in a few weeks :rotfl:

At Thorntons they had their 'Limited Edition' Christmas chocs half price at £5...or 5 for £20, so we went for the 5 and split them, I've got 3 for the teachers gifts and my mum took the other 2 - I certainly don't mind paying £4 for them

Been having a good look on the M&S christmas section on the website, since theres a proper shop section now & there are sooooo many lovely decs. I do hope they are still doing the 3 for 2 offer when I get paid!! I also want the paper someone posted earlier, Ive already bought brown parcel tags that im going to personalize and want some brown paper based wrap to match!!
Also found this which Im going to have to get, would be silly not to!!

Oh, bear with me. I saw some this morning. I just have to remember where !:o


I can't find the other one, but it was a square christmas card that was about 1cm deep. Inside they had stuck 4 mints.

Hope that makes sense.I will try and find the picture.

Thank you! I couldn't find them in my searches for some reason, just what I was looking for

Is it my imagination, or all most of the M&S PJs too small for the models.

How about this chocolate wine for people making chocolate hampers

Has anyone seen this Christmas tree from M&S? It's a wall mounted tree for people who don't have much space for a full sized one!
