Hadn't planned on going to Lakeside (65 miles away) but I may have to, just to get some £2 bags.:rotfl:

I need these too! Thankyou so much for posting... they go so well with my tea bag advent calendar thing... We live near lakeside so have to convince the OH to drop me off there this week :-) - I can hopefully go one night this week if its open late. I'll let you know if they have them in stock as sometimes the website is quicker than the actual store it seems.

Congrats to everyone with babies / grandbabies... will be so lovely for Christmas. All the babies in our family are grown up now so Christmas is 'different' - can't wait for having an excuse to buy cute kids toys and clothes again!

Sorry to hear of those having a hard time at Christmas. There have been some lovely ideas on how you remember your loved ones at Christmas time that I might look into.

Sorry really can't remember who is doing the Grinch Hamper, or if this has been posted before.

The bag contains green m&ms

I NEEEED those gift bags too! Ive never been to an Ikea though. :eek: Nearest is about 45 mins away, December trip needed I think.
Me and DS made cookies earlier and I put them in my lovely gingerbread man shaped storage tub from Poundland. Looking at it made me think what a lovely gift it would be for teachers etc, tied with a ribbon. £2 maximum cost and looks fab! Hope I can find some more in Poundland as I know they were very popular! If not Ill maybe make boxes with DS for the cookies cos they're not having my gingerbread man tubs.

(((hugs))) my3girls. I hope your week gets much better. xxx

I really do have a sieve for a memory, although it was about 100 pages ago.

Someone was looking for gifts for gardeners for under £10

Well I found these calendars with diary £3 each or 3 for £6

I bought these bags last week and intend to use them as 'Bags of Gold' instead of 'Pots of Gold' this year. I normally do pots for the adults and organza or material bags for the children, but this year everyone will have the same bags - labelled of course as the contents will be different. No scratch cards for the children!
