The Christmas Eve hampers sound lovely - what exactly are they for, yourselves like treats or do you give them out? I moved out for the first time this year so am hoping to start up my own little traditions with my OH.

The ones I do are for my children - poor old DH doesn't get one!

if any body has the Range shop nearby it's worth popping in they have a fantastic collection for all, a lot of cheap crafty bits for kids and adults.
thought it was worth a mention

Thanks for that. We are going to an outlet centre tomorrow and there is a range there. I will have a look.

Was in sport soccer today and they have a sale on all their accessory type stuff.
Picked up some 'superman' wrist sweatbands for younger brother for £1.99 - so thats my christmas box started.
They have several different types, batman, some disney and what I would call girly designs.
Thought it was worth a mention because I know I always struggle to find little bits and pieces for boys, and that covers almost everyone I have to buy for!

Well i wrapped and tagged some pressies today, i'm visiting my mum for her 60th birthday and it's a long drive so we are taking her xmas pressies too to save on the stresses and prices of royal mail especially since one item was a book, it was a bit weird writing merry xmas 2012 on a tag i must admit but that's a job off the list and i can concentrate on the in-laws now.

Bought DD1's main Xmas pressure last night. Reduced on amazon and I had the money spare so decided just to get it

A Barbie house is on the way!

I've also bought 3 more pressies with money from ebay sales. I'm doing hamper for most adult family, and have done about 1/3 of stuff for that. Just have children and DH to buy for (but they are hardest and most expensive!).

OH and I went organic in March and haven't been able to find organic ready made Christmas pudding so my mother has volunteered to make us a couple. Taking down the stuff tomorrow
