Is it any good? I'd like to buy a magazine, but worried it might be a bit 'old' (no offence meant). I'm only 25, but I'm just not interested in those fashion and celeb magazines.

I've been reading the OS magazine thead.

Oh dear, you've convinced me ladies :rotfl:, another magazine to the collection!
Oh well, at least the other one's sensible as well (Sewing World).

Dustpan and brush sets can be bought in the £1 shop, home made biscuits can be wrapped in a square of cloth and put in the pan and the whole lot wrapped in cellophane and tied with some ribbon and a label with the poem (or your own version?) and recipe attached. Guaranteed smiles

Last year I bought my M.I.L. the fur edged "Jewel" studded rubber gloves. Having seen your D.P.& B. idea, and having been attracted by very expensive dustpan & brush sets that go with the gloves i.e. they have plastic jewels studded on them, I thought a trip to The Works, where they sell sheets of jewel stickers, and a quick half hour with a cheapo dustpan & brush set, and maybe the glue gun if the sticky things aren't reliable, might give me another pressy for M.I.L I intend to include the cookies, and the poem, so thank you for the idea.

Primark are selling chains of beads, silver & pearl, which, although they are necklaces, I think they'd make good garlands for trees as they are extra long. I think there are red ones. They are either £0.99 or £1.99 I've forgotten which.
I'm doing a "Gurlie" tree this year, feather, pink & white stuff, fairies and the like. Any further ideas welcome.

I wish our primark would hurry up and open ... some of the things I've read on here I want to do and I've not seen them anywhere else :mad:

I also wondering whether I need to buy Prima. I usually flick through a magazine before I buy it to see if I really need it. So what do you like in this months Prima magazine?

I'm like you..I don't like to buy a magazine unless I can flick through it first. When they are sealed it puts me off buying them.
