15 people to buy for
from my christmas cupboard I now have to buy for 4 and two of those only get selection boxes!

My still to buy list is
- my dad
- my brother
- my two nephews - who have selection boxes.


saved my budget a bit though which is nice so now I just have Holly (my 2 year old), Ben (my 8 year old) and my partner Owen to worry about.

Great going mummysnowflake2614!
I need to go through my gift closet too.

That is awesome! What a great way to 'shop'! What is a selection box?

You have motivated me to go through my gift room too!

 

[mummysnowflake2614]

Kim, a selection box is a box with various chocolates in it that are typically given to children.

Although a certain company in the UK do a giant selection box that has 15 assorted bars in and I always get one of those for my partner at christmas.

Make sure you both report back on what you have. I love being nosey

 

[Kim Loves Snow]

I plan on working on my closet next week hopefully and will certainly report back. We just moved and I'm pretty sure there is a container of gifts down in the basement too...need to find those as well.

A selection box - I love that term! We do have boxes of candy here as well and now I might just call them a selection box. I always get one for my aunt who loves chocolates. Thanks for letting me know what it means.

Great job, Mummysnowflake! I am hoping to get downstairs into my gift totes (large rubber tubs) this weekend. I think I have my neices and nephews finished and lots of stocking stuffers, but I really need to take inventory! Thanks for the inspiration!

Good Luck all

I was surprised how much I had in there and it is such a relief to know everyone (bar my immediate kids and owen) is done.

I just need to concentrate on my nan's tablecloth that I have done hardly none of now.
