I know that people give the staff of the nursery, where my daughter goes, pressies at xmas, but there are 4 of them and I can't afford to spemd a fortune.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Home made marmalade, jam, pickles, oil or vinegar in nicely decorated jars/bottles. Or what about coconut ice or truffles? Or even hand made biscuits. It's always nice to receive something that someone has made themselves.

We are going away this xmas, the kids have all the old tat that they need and it is cheaper to go away. There are a few people I will be buying prezzies for and I think I bought them in Tescos clothes sale, got some lovely kids clothes, handbags etc. Its our first xmas that we are going away, the most impotant people we used to want to be with are no longer with us and we seem to aquire more relatives each year that I hardly know or want to!! So instead of the arguments about who's doing what I'm getting outta there!
I'm just looking for a late cheap deal!0 -
good for you. after thinking on this, we are having a few days away between xmas and new year, to avoid all the family things we never want to go to, but wwe will be in our home for the days themselves.0
