    Hiya - I know WH Smith do, as do Virgin, HMV, Debenhams etc etc - probably M&S and any store that sells gift cards really as you can choose the amount and then top it up as you need to.

    I intend to put around £1 on it each time I go to Boots as that will be painless, but be nice to see when Xmas comes along, even if I don't use it for Xmas and use it for 2008 toiletries or something...

    Hi all, found you on here,

    Asda, Argos do these, I don't think M&S do this at the moment, watch this space.

    Yes that would make it better, you will prob get all sorts of info and photos to go in there too.

    my son sponsored a meerkat for his xp a few years ago, they sent all sorts of information about their normal habitat and photos and all kinds of stuff, she was over the moon! she got a free pass to see 'her' meerkat for a year as part of the sponsorship (local zoo).

  • can i join signquestion3xd.gif i started xmas shopping 07 in december 06 before the 25th :rotfl: i am mega organised and i love being so, i hate shopping for anything so shopping at xmas peak is not my idea of fun :rotfl:

    so far i have 42 items in my xmas box which has only cost me £22 this includes a bottle of champangne, hardys wine and 4 bottles of purfume (oh i love getting incentives from work :rotfl:) i also have £90.53 in my xmas saving in which i deposit £18 a month... i am quite lucky and only have 8 people to buy for so its quite simple... i am hoping though that i wont need to use my savings as i would have brought/accuired everyones present at rock bottom prices throughout the year :rotfl: oh and then i have a challange with myself going to make a basket for my sister in which everything was free :rolleyes: it will be a hard challange but i want to do it as whatever i buy for her is wrong anyways so if its free i wont have lost anything :rotfl:
