I take back my hate of yankee candles ! I bought honey glow... it actually smells a lot like my wood wick one, same notes to it but a little lighter than the WW. Just got to find something to put it in/on now lol x

If you are heading instore for snow fairy it'll be October 3rd if you are doing online the rumour is that it will be October 1st but if your girls are big snow fairy fans there are a couple of other things that they would like this year too. I can't tell you much more but the range is fantastic this year it's going to make alot of people happy. I actually think you might find something in the range that you will like too. The minute I'm allowed to I'll blab all to you!

Thanks hun! Love snow fairy, so excited to get ordering!! X

Hmm,I must confess i have done no Christmassy stuff at all today,just housework and then my friend visited unexpectedly. :T So pleased it was just AFTER I had cleaned the house. We are doing the craft stall together.I make all the easy stuff for the kids and she does posh jams and stuff.

It is DD2's birthday on Thursday ( 13 ) and she has requested a meringue as a birthday cake,so that is cooking right now.

The majority of my Christmas gift shopping is complete as I pick bits up through out the year. my list is like this:-


Husband £10 just need some coffee bags that he likes.also getting some toffee cider, socks and some pineapple chunks !:rotfl:

Son 23 £25 socks,smellies,book,and unbeknown to him I have had a photo of him in the university rugby team framed.

Daughter 21 £25 socks,smellies,tagine,spices,hair bobbles and other
girly bits.

Daughter 13 spent £65 so far.hairdryer,radley purse off facebook,masses of tango produce which I will make into a hamper,girly bits and bobs.If i see anything else when all the Christmas stock is out I will get it. Just make sure there are a lot of parcels to open.

Mum 80 £25 sudoku book,jigsaw,selection of homemade jams and chutneys,smellies.

Son's partner 21 £25 some lovely champagne flutes,bottle of bucks fizz,notebooks,socks.

Friend 55 always make her a slab of chocolate and homemade jam.

Christmas gifts for us are quite paired back I think as we all have so much STUFF I try to get things we actually need or can use /eat. Everyone will also get a chocolate orange.

I love the wrapping and spend ages on it,but I will wait until after the craft fair as the spare room is filled with Rudolphs and snowmen at the moment. I don;t send many cards,mostly to Hubby's relatives who live a way away.

Next I will buy a few bits extra with the weekly shop. How are you all doing with it all? I love to hear all your plans.

I know this isn't really Christmassy but thought it might be handy if anyone is making a men's hamper - free Gillette razor http://www.firstreal.co.uk
