Many hugs to those that need them and well done to everyone with the Christmas shopping!

I've just took advantage of the th*rntons code this weekend and managed to sort chocs for the posties, bin men, part of the teachers hamper and a choc figure for each of my monsters stockings
Plus a wee hamper for my BIL and the kids to add to their vouchers, I just hope it's not to dear to post it! Came to £32 posted so happy camper!

I'm trying to think of something for my aunt and uncle, they are both in their sixties and I'm very close to my aunt. I'd love to do a foodie treat hamper but they live over 500 miles from me and it would be too expensive to post. Any suggestions? I wondered about a smallish m&s one? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

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.

Big thank you! I managed to order two books so that's two more presents almost done I did notice that they are a lot more expensive than Amazon and it took me two days to be able to checkout as the site kept crashing

Have finally decorated my Christmas folder. Its a plain A5 ringbinder from paperchase and I glued 2 of the wrapping paper samples from the Prima Christmas magazine on either side and cut out some tags to stick around. It looks very sweet. I plan to organise all my recipes, articles etc in it and can add to it year after year.

Oooo I'd love to see a photo!

Hi all, ive actually had a bit of free time this morning so have managed to read back a bit, it's made me feel Christmassy for the first time in ages, so thank you. By any chance has anyone spotted boxes of mini candy canes anywhere yet please?
If anyone fancies a nosey I've started some of my christmas range and you can see it on my page https://www.facebook.com/sugarflourcakes :-)
Also if anyone is looking for special christmas cards I have a friend who makes the most beautiful ones at very reasonable prices https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lyns-Cards-and-Crafts/802674843097502?ref=ts&fref=ts and she personalises them too if required

Fab cakes and love your friends ornaments, I've stopped by on my personal page and liked both

Well I'm finally caught up! I've spent a nice hour or so in bed with DH and the dogs snoring beside me whilst reading through I'm still far from finished on the presents front. I'm actually quite tempted to just buy it all online now and quit hunting for bargains, just to get it out of the way. I seem to waste so much time trying to find items a £ or so cheaper that all it does is stress me out :mad:

Hugs to all that need them x
