We don't have to buy many pressies - just Steffi, our niece and nephew,

my sis and her bf.

All the other adults have a 'No pressies' agreement as we do with our NZ

family - gets way too expensive to post gifts overseas, especially when

you don't know what they already have.

This year Steffi is making chocolates and biscuits for her grandparents,

great-grandma, aunts and uncles. She loves baking and painting

boxes/bags for them to go in and it will fill in the endless Xmas

holiday - I'm not sure whether she's off for 3 weeks or 4 this year.

We've introduced a 5.00 limit on adult presents - I'm usually make something

like Apricots in as the present.

chocolate covered marzipan dates - yummy and easy if anyone wants the

recipe!
