Bulbs that would be good I'll do that thank you. I am a neat freak so I don't have unwanted items in the house if we are given something we don't use/want I put it in the charity bag or take it to the shop- that's my dilemma really but bulbs would be perfect for this time of year.smile

At ours, it's often unwanted toiletries that GCs have given Grandma and Granpa for xmas. Along with scented candles and photo frames. Notelets, I remember buying some as I do use them. New unwanted souvenir teatowels.

Some luxury teas, herb infused oils, bulbs for the garden, scented candles.

Thank you for your thoughts but I'm still no wiser really. Something I would buy myself- I probably wouldn't buy anything just extra raffle tickets. Does one make cake - I assume WI ladies already bake for themselves, I don't sew or knit or do water colours or any art come to that. I really am struggling here.

Non-WI ones I have been to included baked goods, which always went down well.

Take things you know are good but you can't/won't ever use yourself. The Christmas/Birthday presents that you have put away and would pass on if only you could remember who gave them to you.

Or something you won in a raffle and don't know what the heck to do with! - as long as there is no danger that it might have been donated by a WI member! grin

Take something you would be happy to buy yourself!

I am going to re-join the WI and next months meeting is a B & B. I have never been to one of these before - can anyone advise what to take with me please?
