You did ask :rotfl:

Once I have finished everything, I am starting up a facebook page to show people what I make.

These all sound fantastic! Good luck, Im sure they will sell well, everyone loves homemade gifts. Ive just started a new thread (very daring) trying to collabarate all christmas homemade gift ideas in one place, mainly because I dont have the time or patience to go over all the different threads looking for ideas, as i want to make 2013 a 99% homemade christmas!!! Maybe you could advertise on there once it gets a few more followers?

Thanks pinknfluffy28

I am going to be adding all the links from this thread and my own to the first page of the 2013 chatter thread.
I have found and subscribed to your thread to make sure I have them all.

Am adding a link to it, so everyone here can see it.

I make my own chocolate lip gloss. It is really easy.

Empty a small pot of vaseline into a bowl.
Melt it in the microwave (30 second bursts)
Add 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder and 1 of sugar.
Put back in the pot and let it go hard.

I have a moomoo too! (Megan) her big sisters just call her moo though lol

Want to say a huge huge thank you to all of you for your amazing help in finding the Santa set, you have all gone out of your way and it is very much appreciated :-) i'm watching the sets recommended on eBay so fingers crossed I get one!

I went shopping today and have to say was very disappointed in Poundland,home bargains & superdrug :-( barely a stitch of christmassy things, I walked out all three stores completely empty handed!

Tkmaxx was on another scale altogether I was very happy in there lots of Xmas things lovely gift sets,candles,baking goodies, gorgeous Disney mugs in tins (3.99) and a set of 4 classic winnie in a tall tin for 12 (looked really posh though) I bought a vintage doctor who mug for £2 (I'm sure they had marvel ones too), a large impossipuzzle for £5 and some gorgeous hatley skinny pyjamas for dd3 for £6

I'm getting a train into Edinburgh with mil and the girls tomorrow (hopefully dd3 will be well enough but ill play that by ear) to get them new boots/coats so looking forward to that.

Linky I'm looking forward to seeing your creations - I have just sat and folded a tenner into a Xmas tree - Dh just rolled his eyes lol

Good luck with the house moneysavingmum :-) and I'm sure your boots look fine lol

Great bargains sugarspun
