Maria, your imps looks fab in those aprons and hats!!! You must be so chuffed with them (the imps and the clothes!).

Also love the exploding box idea, I bet Melissa75 will love to see that when she gets back from hols.

I am too scared to write a list, I think I probably should though!

You should give it a go, I feel calmer that I am further along than I thought and way, way more prepared than any other year before

My aim is to sort everyone out present wise so I can then concentrate on my boys & OH heading towards Xmas so we can do festive things without feeling the stress of getting everyone's presents

I'm not very "crafty" (can't sew or anything), but I can cook and quite like making preserves. I've just got some kilner style jars fro Ikea and I'm going to make chutneys for presents. I've already made some jam for presents for teachers and when I made plum jam yesterday I filled a really small jar with jam. I've some others and I'm going to fill them with homemade tomato and mago chutneys and then make a hamper for my FIL. I thought I'd get him some port and perhaps some cheese to go with it all.

I wouldn't have thought of doing anything like that without this thread so thanks!!!
