Christmas is coming! 2007 - merged thread

I found a nice sight on line that sells sea salt and epsom salts in bulk, great for homemade bath bombs and bath salts/soaks.

They also stock on their little gift backs in packs of 10, 29 and so on at reasonable prices ( not all but some).

IF anyone knows of anywhere better will you let me know before i purchase some.

Last year I got my stepdad a huge basket full of cheeses and traditional sweets and other such sillies.. he loved it.. the cat now has a ducter in the basket and sleeps in it!!

I've just been pointed over here.. thanks Rosieben!!

I've decided who is getting what this year.. and I have 4 childrens birthdays between now and then so I'm fairly organisedish.. lol.

I've got most of the presents for the 2 little ones so just the 6 older ones, hubby, my mother & 3 of my sisters to buy for.

I have £150 on pigsback which I can't decide what vouchers to claim lol.. so they are just mounting up! I am going to get a couple of cinema vouchers for DS1.. he will like those.. maybe give him those for his birthday..

I have £70 in nectar points, and other than that I am so busy paying off various other debts I have sorted who is being paid what and when which means I will have £1000 come December to buy presents hopefully when they are reduced in the last few days before christmas.. that would be brilliant.

I do need 4 DS lites though, 2 mobile phones, 1 MP3 player and 2 little cameras (I thought if I got boots vouchers from pigsback they might well have some little cameras and mp3 players).. any ideas??

I've got DD1 some clothes and a pair of converse stashed away.. and a few freebe bits of make up thanks to this lot on here.

pigpen .... have a look on the dfw board at Immoral Angels diary, theres a great offer through dial-a-phone / quidco where you could get a mobile and get cashback and get a free ds lite!! HTH x

Primark have some lovely fleece blankets for £2 and they also have a lovely quilted bed cover for £7. I'm going today to buy both as they'll make ideal presents.

I've also started making my christmas tags. I save all my christmas cards and make tags with whats left.
