    Godness, bethscott, never heard about an allergy to tea before!

    Coffee for me please, cheers everybody!

    Lillibet, you've just reminded me of one of my old style dreams ..... to be able to make a few pressies this year for folk's Christmas pressies. Trouble is ...... more ideas than action.....!

    Lillibet - have you got any labels - it could work out quicker and they can be used to seal the envelope as well???

    Was thinking of lables, only trouble is they don't quite fit the informal note paper idea but would be better than nothing & at least I know how to print them!

    I have done the note paper on A5 size, do you think I should do some A4 too?

    Ooohh, someones just bought doughnuts & brie into the office.......:j

    I want to make more presents this year too, trouble is I have no talent and no ideas, not a good combination :(

    Could you put little tiny flowers or something at the top 2 corners of the labels to make them more informal?

    I like the labels idea, especially with a little motif on them. That's a nice touch.

    I worked at a printers that produced personal headed paper. The envelopes didn't have a return address and were left plain so I wouldn't worry too much. 25 printed a5 sheets, 25 plain continuation and 25 envelopes cost £9.99 gift boxed 20yrs ago:eek:

    You'd be suprised what goes together when you're pregnant:rotfl: Actually I'm eating them seperately but I think they might work together, a sort of savoury doughnut?? Now why has no-one ever thought of that idea? Oh they have....??...and they're called pasties...?? Doh!

    Moggins - me thinks you might be underselling yourself - I was looking at your hm beauty treatment ideas earlier on and they look fab! I'm sure there's loads of ideas of creative packaging kicking around, just add a "how to use label" and bob's your aunty...
