  • thanks for some really great ideas here which the santa thingy is being done for my mil and partner on xmas day as atable treat.

    Okay so 54 people bought for and all wrapped up in last years unused wrapping paper so this is now money saving as well!:money:

    I've bought various little bits from Wilkinsons, QD and poundland including multipacks from tescos and thorntons and broken them into little packages with candy canes that I got from poundland.

    I also managed to get another voucher to use from the voucher tray where we can help ourselves to donated vouchers - saved me £3! I think i had about 30p change which I put in a charity bucket outside tescos safely knowing I had got everything.

    I'm now sat at work waiting for everyone to go home as its all wrapped up underneath my desk and once all gone I'm going to put them on desks. Hopefully they will all sod off at 5 as usual!

    Should be fun tomorrow here!
