Eyes down for a bargain eh sally?

This weekend is my weekend for making a few christmas presents. I've bought some cheap frames, which i plan on sticking some salt dough ornaments too, but am having trouble thinking of what to make in terms of the ornaments. Should I do christmas/ winter theme ones?

I was going to make a girlie type one with shoes and a handbag. then maybe a coffee and cake one, for a ladies gift, maybe a gardening type one, with bees and flowers and a spade maybe. Any other suggestions?

I've already got wrapping paper bought in the Jan sales, cards I make either crosstitch or with a computer programme I bought cheap in PC World.
Usually got a few pressies by now but lack of money means it will be a very cheap Xmas this year.

My dough ornaments are baking away, ready for painting.
Have also decided to try my hand at making some wine glass charms, from what I gather you have different designs and thats how everyone can tell their wine glass apart from others?

Does anyone know where I can get some form of outlines, on the net, for ornaments etc, just need basic outlines, since I'm hopeless at drawing!

:think: hmmm, not sure about this one! Something to do with your internet explorer perhaps? maybe post on the techie board for advice?

A special offer some of you might be interested in:

Morrisons are currently sellling the normal 'blue' Terrys Chocolate Oranges for BOGOF £1.99. I think it is because they are clearing out the 'thank you teacher' stock ready for Xmas. None of the other types are included in the offer.

I've bought a couple for Xmas pressie stocking fillers - which I can take out of the box first if its to anybody other than family.

Thanks, jessicamb, Mr Piglet is a huge fan of "proper" (i.e. blue) chocolate oranges, and the one year Santa forgot to put one in his stocking there was huge sulking (seemingly, he "always" eats one on Christmas morning...and thinking about it, he's right - it never lasts long!! ).

A trip to Tesco's is in order, me thinks...!!:rolleyes:
