  • My dad ordered 2 christmas present for me to give to my uncles.
    One is a heat sensitive thundercats mug and the other is a camera lens mug.

    That's pretty much everyone done,
    I just need to get something for my cousins fella... I don't know him too well. And In December I'm going to buy some christmas chocolate for every as 1 present doesn't seem like a lot to give.

    My little cousins have 5 presents each
    My older cousin has 5 presents and my mum and sister has a lot of presents. My sister has a lot of presents this year because of my break up with my boyfriend but luckily she likes doctor who and I brought him doctor who stuff.

    oh davenport151 - my mum wants a magazine subscription - can I ask where you got the cashback?!!

    She wants a home magazine subscription for xmas!

    My nan wants some no7 moisturizer so I'll be getting that online - on one of my spending days this month!

    I got some stuff from te8co yesterday - some mini pannetone for only 1 quid each so one will go in each hamper!

    OH is going to give our old computer to his parents so that's their 'big' present so just little presents for everyone now.

    hmmmm - got to do some research for little additions to their hampers!

    Me and OH have decided not to buy us any proper presents but just lots of little primarni gifts e.g. pants, socks etc totalling 15 quid each so we have lots to unwrap but don't really spend much money so we can put more to debts!!

    So - apologies for not writing more regularly!!!! but I am reading the thread!

  • Hi cottage_retreatist - I use topcashback usually. This was £9 cb (but I think this ends quite soon so go quick. It also depends on the amount you spend).
    Good luck with your shopping budget.

    Making very slow progress here, but with this being the first full month my OH hasn't been working I've been trying to watch what I spend!

    I spent another £1 on my eldest niece, a Revlon nail varnish from £land. I'm currently making a hat for her to match the mittens I've already crocheted.

    I've already decided that if I can crochet something for someone I will be doing!

    I'm currently looking for a clear style wash/make up bag so that I can crochet a pretty cover for it, if anyone knows where I might be able to find any?

  • I think I saw these in Tesco. The type with some small empty travel bottles in? Great idea then you can put some treats of your own in.

  • Similar, prefer without the little bottles in, I saw some in £land a few weeks ago and should have got them but didn't and when I went this weekend I couldn't find any!

    Thanks though, I will have a look in tesco :)
