Gingerbread monin syrup to get you in the christmassy mood

Where can I find this please

 

[rainbowlemon]

Delivered with the milk this morning! The double cream from the milkman is unmatched. *not a euphemism*

I always tell my father that I’m the milk man’s daughter.

I can’t find it! I spent ages yesterday trying to tune in to it

Same I can’t find it on my DAB either so I just downloaded the app and play it through Bluetooth on my phone

I want to get OH a coffee syrup dispenser system (though realistically he only ever uses caramel flavoured). Not sure whether to buy a big bottle of Monin caramel syrup with one of their branded pumps - he’s run out anyway - or get a few glass bottles off Etsy or Amazon that we can fill with cheaper bigger bottles from Home Bargains etc. I was hoping to find an optic style one but it doesn’t look like that exists?

I live in France and I have seen Monin bottles in the optic dispensers, not sure if it’s in special dispensers or just the basic ones, but I’ve definitely seen them
This is a great gift idea !

I swear that's Rightmove?
Looking at the houses double your price range.


I have recently developed bad sensitive skin (its got worse over time, not suddenly bad) so no gift sets this year, I'm afraid.
Specifically requested from family, no smelly gift sets.

I've tried this...some listen...some do not hence I just started ebaying so I could get the things I can use...or letting the local charity shop make a few quid lol

Nope! He likes running and computer gaming. That’s it.

The minecraft lego is reasonable if that's something he's in to. LOVE lego masters, especially Australia, ahh Hamish .

Do you have a good relationship with your next door neighbour? We asked ours to take some picture of the elf in their house, so one day I could just prop them up with the photos of their 'adventure' the night before.

That's a great idea - thank you!! I'm going to do that!

Porky penguin are your elf life saver. They do a pack of daily activities and a pack of jokes! Honestly, check them out. It's a game changer. I actually "enjoyed" doing the elf last year because of them! They change the packs every year too so never the same thing each year!

Ooh I'll check these out aswell! I really do need help with it, I'm not motivated in the slightest. Thank you!

Yeah, that's it. I'm talking years back, there used to be some unique stalls that sold little crafts quite reasonably but now, as you say, there's little in the way of that.

Yeah agreed the big markets are ttl tat, there are dedicated independent makers markets which look lovely from pics so far, I’m going to one early December so as that’ll be where I’m doing a lot of present buying!!

I got the costa gingerbread latte in a can and it was disgusting

Do you buy all four of the chocolate tins or just one?

One of my fav Christmas songs is 'Christmas in my heart' by Dylan Sitts. You can find it on youtube.

Oh my goodness. It's beautiful. I'm actually crying . We'll done John Lewis #thebeginner

I thought it was tomorrow?

Is anyone doing the fairytale of New York theatre production this year? It’s sold out near me.

It's down to £13 at the moment in tesco (clubcard prices) I can't see it going lower.

Sainsburys etc the last few years have done the 1L for £10 but I couldn't remember if it was end of November or more into December (was getting a bottle a week last year when it was ). Never drink it otherwise lol

Yeh tesco have done £10 previously but I just assume with the way prices are going that it is unlikely to go lower than £12/13

Hey looking for some inspiration for make up gift sets for a 17 year old girl. Unable to ask as it's for a local help scheme.

What kind of budget are you looking for?

 

[Holidaybobs]

Does anyone have a good cinnamon cookie/biscuit recipe? I had some years ago at a Christmas fair that tasted so heavenly like Christmas in a cookie. But, I’ve never managed to find a recipe for anything similar

 

[Kiwi_90]

No idea where about to post this #FirstPost sorry thought this might be appropriate to post in!
Looking for bits and bobs for Christmas!

[bellinibobble]

Can you link them please xxx

Scrap that I've found them

Glad you found the link I bought them from my local garden centre - most years they never have them in stock so I was really buzzing to get them!
