I was wondering whether to put a family name on it....

I've got one for 2 families anyway (2 sisters, and a brother and a sister)... so I've ordered 2 in total.
If I need to get one each for them, and they're still £3 that's ok.
If they've shot up though, one family can have them, and I can find something else for the others!

I LOVE It in here.

I've been thinking about some hampers I'm going to make... well, sort of hampers.

I need to get organised!

Wow it is so lovely to find this thread full of like-minded ppl who love Christmas :j:jI usually get pressies throughout the year but with getting married next month our tiny house is full of wedding stuff, so won't be able to make a proper start on the Christmas shopping for a little while... doesn't mean I can't indulge in watching a few Christmassy films now though!

Went into B&M bargains yesterday and they had their London kitchen range reduced so I got 4 mugs (50p each) and 2 sets of coasters (50p each) to make Tea for two trays for my stepdads mum and dad and MIL/FIL. They also had black teapots reduced to £1 so got one for my nans Tea tray and another but Im not sure what Im doing with that yet. Oh also bought a 'Ring for a cuppa' bell for £1 for my stepdads mum and dads tray as his mum collects bells. Just have to add biscuits/tea and get the trays.

I have far less than I usually do by now, think its a combination of no money and also thinking a lot more about whether that 'bargain' is worth it! This is my list so far:

OH-R.Whites tshirt (not sure if for christmas or birthday) and Toy story 3 blu ray and LCD Screen wipes (for stocking)
DS: Adopt a reindeer, Lego alien conquest spaceship, Lego Marina I think? Several Dr Who figures, 2 buildable figures from Cars 2, power rangers sword and thats all I can remember lol.

Mum-Nothing yet but will start buying now she's had her birthday
Stepdad-Nothing again and birthday still to come!
Sister 1-Live, laugh, love wooden plaque
BIL: Mug with his name on
Niece-Adopt a reindeer
New nephew who will be born in a week -My first christmas babygrow and bib
Sister 2-Me to you teddy bear
Sister 3-Twilight blanket, Set of Twilight bodysprays
Brother 1-Tshirt and socks
Brother 2-Nothing yet, whenever Ive seen something I havent had the money grrr
Brother 3-Adopt a reindeer
Brother No 1s girlfriend-Body Shop shower gel, body butter and bath puff in gift bag
Brothers No 2s girlfriend: Nothing yet
Nan-Teapot
Uncle-Nothing yet but is a huge horror fan so usually have a look at Halloween
Stepdads mum and dad-2 mugs, set of coasters and ring for a cuppa bell

Also have my friend, her husband and two children but she might see so wont put those down.

Wow moneysavingmumofone your list is looking great - keep up the good work! :T

ALJA - great to hear your job is going well, that's one less thing to worry about! :beer:

I popped into Tesco on the way home from work on Friday and picked up a present for my friends' little boy, they had a sale on childrens clothes and I managed to pick up a pair of jeans for £2 reduced from £6 and a smart polo shirt for £2 reduced from £5. So I got him a lovely outfit for £4! :T I'll just get him a little toy and some chocolate and then he'll be done.
