A question about : Christmas Hampers 2014

I cant find an up to date thread for hampers, so thought I would start one (please let me know if I have missed it & I will delete this thread).

If we post what hampers we are planning, and also if we see any bits whilst out and about that may be useful to others. Hopefully this will be of some help to all of us hamper-holics!

Oh, and photos of finished hampers would also be lovely!

My 2014 hampers:

A question about : Children's Christmas wish list

I saw this today and I just had to share it. The video is really cute and shows Father Christmas asking children what they would like for Christmas, back in 1959.

I wonder how many parents will be going overdrawn this year to buy a must have gift? Whereas, some of these children asked for things like a penny whistle.

Of course, there is always the kid who wants a bike!

A question about : Best present?

My birthday is close to christmas so already had some gifts but my best present so far has to be my ugg slippers! So cozy. Feel free to tell me the worst present but I have to say I've loved all mine so far. We open presents Christmas morning. I know christmas is about other things besides presents...however it is piece in the puzzle though and usually a nice part to talk about!

A question about : Saving for Christmas 2015.

Is anyone already starting to save for Christmas 2015?

I am putting Ј50 a month into a separate savings account, and also going to be saving Ј100 in those Morrisons savings stamps.

What does everyone else do to save towards Christmas?

A question about : Old Christmas Cards

Hello everyone

I was wondering what everyone does with their old Christmas cards?

Do you:
recycle them
make gift tags
keep them

Id love to hear what everyone does and what other ideas people have to do with them!

My new years resolution is to be more crafty, so I might make gift tags
