Just wondering what little treats people are buying themselves for the festive period. Here's mine. 3kg each of fruit sherbets and chocolate fruits. Should last me to new years day. biggrin

Think we've done a bottle of Baileys a week so far this December. Copious amounts of chocolate (as a rule I don't touch it, but Christmas is fair game)

When I was young, my dad used to get catering sized cardboard boxes with Jelly Babies, and Liquorice Allsorts (ones they used to refill the Glass Jars from). They’d last us till near Easter

I’m still partial to a Newberry Fruit Jellies,





and now the Godiva speculoos truffles

A couple of bottles of port and some cheese. My sweet tooth will be satisfied with Christmas cake.

Pickled walnuts - is there really anything better with some nice home cooked ham or a good pork pie?

I went onto one of those 'make your own hamper' sites and built one for my wife for Xmas full of all the stuff I know she'll like.

Can;t wait for her to open it on Xmas day so that she we can get stuck in ! hehe
