lynx usually do shower gels and sprays with suitable sounding names. i got some little mini body sparys for crackers last year with something like pocket pulling power written on - im sure they were lynx

I've changed my mind about my sister's chocolate hamper. As I want to wrap the things up I'm going to decorate a box and make it into a chocolate lucky dip instead.

What a good idea, I could do that for my Son.

The Railway Children Hamper

We live less than 10 miles away from where 'The Railway Children' was filmed

My DD3 is 11 and we thought it would be fun to give her a Railway Children hamper

So far I have bought her the DVD and book.

We are going to put in tickets for the Santa Special ( A proper steam train) run by the Keighley And Worth Valley Railway and goes along the route and visits the station where The Railway Children was filmed.

I was thinking of using a small suitcase as the hamper as if she was going away just as the children had to do in the film.

Any suggestions please as to what else I could put in the case?

Sounds interesting. Is it chocolate bars and items you are going to put in?
