I so want to ...


buy handmade this Christmas but as i have two nine year old boys and a twelve year old female Kevin im going to struggle !!
So im going to have to buy some things that are not handmade ....
we dont do the tacky cheap gifts any way
and we tend to get the boys more shall we say educational but fun toys as they are still a way behind with the school levels
( there in years 4/5 but their work level is shall we say way below that )
and anything that helps them works for me !!
we also buy lots of books which are then passed down the family and then passed onto the charity shop .
If anybody has any handmade ideas for boys please let me know

Im also feeling a bit better today and feel like doing some sewing so thats what im off to do
oh and i shall be getting my darling eldest girlie to do the draw today
so you still have time to leave me a comment no matter where your from
near or far lurker or regular visitor i would love to hear from you !!

Hi Sarah,
hope you are feeling better soon.

What about a pencil case or hot water bottle for the boys?

Not terribly educational I know, but they could be handmade?

Sara,

How about a door plaque (notice the plug there!) but seriously boys are a lot harder to buy for girls are happy with bags, cushions etc... perhaps the handmade pledge will have to exclude the boys for a few years!!
