I'm making hampers for my family this year to save money. I found a lot of my ideas on the 'Salter UK' 'Foody Christmas Gift Ideas' Pinterest board.

This Saturday I'm straining my Cranberry and Orange vodka, and have already put together loads of hot chocolate pots with marshmallows and Baileys!

I'll also be doing the little cookie jars but they take a bit more maths and preparation. If you want to make little gifts for lots of people but not spend forever doing it I'd really recommend the hot chocolate pots. So easy and simple to do and with some nice ribbon and bits they make a really nice gift.

Hi sally - can you share the hot choc pots with marshmallows and baileys - i can;t find them on pinterest thank x

Hello Guys!
I am thinking of giving a nose right tool to my gf and I think she will be happy with me because she always complain about his nose but I have no problem with his nose . So I thought as she doesn't like his nose so why not gave him a nose right tool to reshape his nose in a desired way!!

I made up a South African food hamper for my brother for Christmas. Many of the foods I bought at the South African Food Company and Amazon sell the foods too. Here's a link to the photo before I rearranged them nicely. Hope this helps! http://www.flickr.com/photos/34476777@N04/8208675531/in/photostream

Hunter's Biltong based in Barking (they also do internet sales) are excellent for South African goodies.

Biltong and droewors are musts. Niknaks and Fritos crisps are popular, as are Romany Creams, Tennis biscuits, Eet Sum Mor and Cho-kits biscuits. And if he drinks alcohol, Castle lager and/or Klipdrift brandy are highly recommended

Hi - I saw a thread on here somewhere and it had poems and what not on that you could attach to homemade gifts. I can't find it anywhere now. The one I was particularly interested in was for an empty jar but it was a poem about how it was filled with love. Any ideas anyone? Thanks
