Hiya

Just returned from Hobbycraft and bought my pipecleaners for the Rudolphs and got the little bells but they had 2 sizes and wasn't sure what was best (bought both!) any suggestions??

Also they only had quite small red pom poms for the noses so didn't buy them An other suggestions for somewhere to get them??

Thanks guys xxx

I have finally gotten inspired! My Rivercottage Handbook No. 2 arrived today and I feel really inspired!

Things I have decided to make include:
Sloe Gin - small bottles!
Fruit leathers
Jam
Chocolate covered Orange peel
Tomato Relish
Dried Tomato's in oil
Rasberry Vinegar (on husbands request!)
Garlic Oil

Now I just need to get LOADS of jars etc from freecycle... :rotfl:

Im just starting to form a list, so far I am doing:

Chocolate slabs
Shortbread
Wheat bags
Gift baskets
Snowman soups
Traffic Jam jar for my nephew
Wellie warmers for my mum

And I am on the look out for inspiration! I did gift baskets and snowman soups last year and they went down well. Few relatives that really dont need any more smellies, mugs or chocolate, so not sure what I shall do for them.

Actually, can I pick your brains? I have bought a gorgeous organic, hand decorated photo album for my step mum, what can I put with it to make up a basket? Cant include smellies or food though...

Ooh I only found this board last night and am super inspired already and am so addicted I stayed up till 5am to read everything lol.

I am going to make baskets, chocolate slabs and some flannel muffins. May add more to the list though lol x

Cleos I am not sure how you would go about putting it with a basket but for my mum and step dads 40th I got them a new wedding album and also had one of their favourite family photos put on to canvas.
