cav82 sorry for your loss

princesskitty hope you enjoyed your afternoon

pinknfluffy the caravan sounds perfect

Irishrose wow you have been busy

Freespirit really hope that pain doesn't drag on too long this time and your feeling better soon I know how painful that can be so take it easy.

willow loulou what age teens? last yr we did mini gift bags with lots of little bits in like mini diary/notebook/pretty stationary/xmas sweets/lip balm.splitting mutlipacks & looking out for freebies make it alot cheaper esp if you have a lot to buy for.
this yr the current idea is mistletoes sets as got some lovely fluffy red socks in the sale.

waiting on payday so I can do some real shopping but found this game http://www.amazon.co.uk/University-Games-BOX-01020-Photoloco-Board/dp/B00D8RWGJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1412022869&sr=1-1&keywords=photoloco
in HB today for just £3.99 which I think the kids will love not sure wether to put in the xmas eve hamper or keep for on the day. also picked up a grow your own xmas tree which I'll use for one of the elf gifts & a couple of the sweet filled baubles.

did someone mention a tango hamper? they had quite a few different tango themed sweets including choc bars, bonbons & a huge liquid lolly thing all 59p they even had tango jaffa cakes.

:rudolf:Ooooo thanks Mandco, I am doing the Tango hamper for my 13 yearold,I have 9 items at the moment but not some that you have mentioned.Thanks,will try to get myself to my nearest B&M in the next few days.

When I was full time at Primary School in the run up to Christmas I used to put a website on the interactive whiteboard called Reindeercam.
It is in the States so times need to be worked out to see Santa and friends feeding the reindeer.Most of the time you can just watch the reindeer mooching about in a paddock. If you make a donation your child's name can be put on Santa's nice list which runs at the back of the scene,Otherwise completely free.:rudolf:

Hello I have read the Christmas mag and personally I'm disappointed - seems to be lots of advertising and shopping ideas, the crafty makes seem very basic to me.

Hello all you lovely festive people!

I have read back a few pages!

NAN Hope everything continues to become better! Missed you! xx

Seeing all these festive ideas , pictures and things people have picked up has made me all festive and in a rush to continue stocking up and getting things together.

I got my uncle a wallet that has his name and love me wrote on the inside , will get him some smellies and choc treats and he is done!

Need to sort my brother out but not going to go crazy! Just some stuff he will use rather than collect dust lol.
