don't put yourself down...women are not as useless as some other species (men) think we are...well most men anyway....have abit more faith in yourself and you'll be able to knock them out in no time...but if you need any more advise just give us a shout ...ok

REALLY need help still...

I've made my mum's basket up but it looks really really bare! I'll post a pic later to show you, but its a large wicker basket from Poundland, probably 50cmx40cm and quite deep. I've put in it a large bath sheet from Primark £7, a white scented candle £1.50 from Au Naturale, Some Chocs from Boots (Free with AC Points, should be £5), a mini bottle of wine £1.50 and a White Collection Soap bought in the Boots sale for £1.50, reduced from £5. I need a couple of fairly chunky bits to fill the void but I'm really limited on budget now so must be cheap. Also, must be white/black/posh looking!!! Any ideas?

Also, have no idea for a family present for a 25yo colleague, her 27yo partner, and boys 6yo and 3 month... They're quite a hippyish/eco-friendly... budget of £5-£10...

And exFIL, budget of around £10, though I'm not so worried by this one as I'll no doubt get a copy of his Xmas list a week beforehand :mad:

White or black things for mum's basket:

All from boots (just did my shopping their at their xmas shopping evening!)

Bath creme, 59p

White honeycomb sponge 90p:

White polishing sponge, £1.99:

Diesel perfume, £4.99 (was £20!):

For your 25yo colleague who is eco friendly, my suggestion for the festive fivers competition might be good, check it out:

http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk//content.php?page_id=10179

It's a breast cancer care awareness eco-friendly re-usable shopping bag. It only £5 plus postage, looks good, isn't plastic and all profits donated to breast cancer care.

For the kids, might I suggest these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Noughts-Crosses-Black-White-Sheep/dp/B000TAPA4W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=personal&qid=1196371471&sr=8-1

I actually sell these myself on amazon and at christmas fairs, they go down an absolute treat with all kids and adults!!! This is not self promotion, I just had to show you because they are awesome gifts. I sell them for only £5 at fairs, so if you want one at that reduced price (plus postage) pm me, I am happy to help a fellow MSE'er out.
Also there are some great kids gifts on boots, just go to the christmas section and select gifts under £5 and it has loads of ideas.

Oh yeah, and I found this for the kids on play:
http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/173449/20Q-New-Version/Product.html
It's 20 questions game, only £7 inc postage, and it's great fun, me and my husband played it for about half and hour in Borders book last weekend!


Play might be a good place to look for the 27yo guy, in the gadgets section:
