    I saw last night that The Works also have 'make your own crackers kit' for £3 which includes hat, joke and snaps. Design very pretty, nicer than pound land or JL!! Also got 30% off and couldn't resist picking up some Christmas romantic fiction! They also had a 6 for £10 deal on selected fiction. Could also be good for a few stocking fillers! :j

    Link to the cracker set: http://www.theworks.co.uk/p/christmas-crackers/make-your-own-christmas-crackers---pack-of-6/5052089155213

    6 in a pack - I got two! I used TCB too 18% - think on Quidco it is higher but I use TCB. :T

    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk

  • Nipped into pound land last night & picked up some Terry's chocolate orange which is obviously an obligatory purchase! Also picked up 2 tea light holders, 1 in shape of Christmas pudding & another Christmas tree, even the girl on checkout commented on how cute they were :)

    Got mojo back so will probably start wrapping later and finally work out where I am with things, going to see film in British film festival later also, so something different to look forward to.

    Have a good day:D
    A smile costs little but creates much :)

    If you convert your Play.com account across to Rakuten you can get £5 off a £7 spend [LAUNCHFIVE -code] It looks like all items have to be from the same seller though.

    Costings include the containers. The only thing I've not factored in yet is the cellophane and tissue paper - but that shouldn't be more than about £3 for all four hampers.
  • If there's anyone on here doing a Marvel Hamper I saw Primark had some Avengers gift sets in, one with showergel & hair gel and one with different shower gels in, about £3 each I think!
    HTH :)
  • if anyone is thinking of getting a coffee machine there's a deal here similar to one that was posted last year
