sorry to be nosey where they with the xmas gifts they sound brilliant value.

Thou guess the minatures most cost more...I'd guess you'd be looking at about £3 for a mini bottle, the only place I could think of would be victoria wine type shops, some supermarkets may sell them at the tobacco counter, xx

They were on HotUKdeals earlier today. From Asda Direct and I will pick them up instore (two mins walk from me). I will just keep my eyes open for miniatures. Going to Scotland at the end of the month so might find something up there, if not will try Victoria Wine type shops.

Hope you find them if you decide to buy. xx

Wow! Thanks, that's some selection. I will work my way through those (the listings, not the miniatures, lol). Some nice ones there by the looks of it.

had to have a peep - found box of shot glasses, thinking personalising them with initials and add a mini of whisky, and bailey or some liquer for ladies. One of the shops on Amazon " The Minature shop" (something similair) if you go through Quidco or Topcashback you get some money back. xx

I like the look of a white choc liquer only £4.99 for the mini size.. x

Have just spent the last 2 hours going through all the fantastic ideas, im off into town today to get sleigh sweets and sticky tape.. That'll keep me and my daughter quiet for a few hours..
Gonna get an elf too! Im making my two older girls a movie hamper as they live with their partners and never know what to get them. Love the idea of putting them in bags, ive been looking for baskets and as they were so expensive i kept getting put off. So I think ill start these today too!
Really feel Thankful for all your ideas to help us get organised!:T

I am going to make (very) basic bags to wrap gifts in. I noticed some cheerful Christmas fabric in Dunelm Mill the other day. I have some sewing skills and will make bags but it could also be used instead of wrapping paper. They could use it again next year to wrap someone's present.

People wanting miniatures, I have used this site before www.justminiatures.co.uk

Don't suppose any of you know where I can get 0.25l size kilner-type clip top jars, quite cheaply? They've got Kilner brand jars this size in Wilkos for about £1 each but they're normal screw-top, ideally I'd like the clip-top kind if I can get them.
