...and lots more of this....

I did manage to cobble together a few more presents on my list. Being on a very tight budget this year and also not having the energy for crafting in the evenings I had to come up with some new ideas. I have been noting the wonderful ideas floating around in the blogosphere recently and have bookmarked them for next year instead. I especially love Bella Dia's advent activities!
For the children in our swimming group I dug out some Christmas tins I got on sale last January and filled them with chocolate coins. I remember loving chocolate coins as a child so hopefully they will all enjoy these too. Cost about £1.00 per tin.
A chef's set for kids from Wilkinson's for under £5 for our playgroup's Secret Santa. (I really should make this myself but I went for the stress free version!)
China egg cups shaped like vintage VW camper vans - a bargain at £1.49 in Cancer Research Shops. I got a whole load of these for all my nephews and nieces. I quite fancy one myself.

Sister in law is getting a little jug with some ingredients for hot chocolate to go with it.
Still a few more to go though.
