Its an ebay christmas for us this year as I'm out of work so its kind of an on going thing at the moment lol. Aint started putting up decorations yet as we do it 12 days before christmas.

Hmm... fair enough. We're doing gift hampers for alot of people this year. Especially couples... which really cut down on costs
Homemade tomato chutney, onion chutney and christmas chutney.
Shop bought biscuits and some 'posh' organic fruit juice. And maybe a bottle of wine and some cheese from the deli counters at the shop.
Quite good fun making it all and stuff aswell.

Hopefully even as 'main' presents for parents and such it'll come to £20 max and should look pretty darn impressive.

Our main presents are for the kids so its zhu zhu hamsters, ben 10, peppa pig and spongbob, ebay ebay ebay lol.

Lol, good find. They're just a bit pricey. I need 7 hampers/boxes.
4 Large (40x30 ish)
3 Small (25x20 ish)
Hoping not to spend more than £30 at the very very most.

So far I've found these

Could you not make christmas decorations out of paper. That gives plenty of time to make them before you start putting them up; or make christmas crackers and decorate them yourself?

 

[stevereade]

Lol could do, problem is getting the stuff to make them being skint lol.
