I did hampers for the kids a few years ago and am planning to do one for at least one of them today after spotting a bumper pack of crayons with a carousel storage pot in Poundworld - I'm going to do her an arts and crafts hamper.

I am also planning to have a go at a sock monkey, if I can work out how my sewing machine works. Going to use Amy as a guinea pig first and if it's not a total disaster I might try and make some for all the kids we buy for.

I'm also planning to make christmas cupcakes - I meant to do it last year but never got round to it. What other sorts of things can I put with them that can be made in advance? I am very aware that I will be 8 months pregnant come Christmas and possibly won't be arsed making things last minute.

How long does that keep? I'm making a soap hamper for my mum so it'd go really well

I'm making stockings for everyone too when I get round to sorting my embroidery machine out - it conked out in the middle of making an advent calendar for Lucas
