I'm making christmas hampers for a couple of my relatives. The pre-filled ones are extremely expensive but you can buy empty hampers online for as little as £6 and fill them with goodies people actually like. If too late to get one online try the supermarket linen dept. Morrisons sell hamper boxes from £2.

To make it look special I'm going to spray on my own logo and posh it up with ribbons.

Merry Christmas, Keith

I do this for my elderly mum. The first year I did it, I got her not just her ordinary groceries, etc, but a few special or rather different things. She didn't like/want those and promptly gave them back to me. So now I just fill it with the usual sort of things that she likes, just perhaps slightly more upmarket or luscious than she would buy for herself: interesting jam or biscuits or whatever.

For convenience I have also used a photocopier paper box which has also has a decent lid. The box and lid can be covered independently and makes it easy to pack and stack. "Green," as well.

The M&S sale has began with 50% off some items - they have fleece jackets with a little fur collar reduced from almost £30 to just £7 .... also erm can't spell it - pot pourri? lLots of this stuff in attractive cellophane bags for as little as £1.

For one week only Boots are currently flogging their best selling face cream - Perfect and Protect- in a massive 200ml size. This would normally be £99 (!) (This was the product that was shown to actually work on some TV documentary and subsequently sold out in minutes) but it's half price at £49 this week. This would be a good buy for any hard core Perfect & Protect fans anyway BUT they are also giving away a pretty classy evening bag in a sort of purple silky material, full of no 7 goodies including make-up, face care and body serum which would make a very nice present on its own. So if you're a Perfect & Protect fan now's the time to buy it. (I also got 250 extra points yesterday for spending £25 on 'qualifying products' - 2 cheers for that)

Yes Kitaj, the £49 face cream with one other very cheap purchase to bring it over £50 is even cheaper if you use SJMA36 as a code. It takes another £10 off!

Debenhams has quite a few Christmas specials reduced to half price, including all it's Dr Who toys. My son's birthday is just after Christmas & this year I didn't know what to get him until I spotted a remote control Dalek reduced from £40 to a much more reasonable £20. I'm really pleased as I know he will love it.
