Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me, this year instead of stockings I am doing baskets with little bits in them.
For the girl ones I have put things like free perfume/make up samples, mini bottles of bath foam, sweets etc. But I am totally stuck as to what to put in the mens ones,
have put in a minature bottle of wine and a keyring, but what else?
Dont mind if it a freebie to send off for, or something I can buy
Thanks

Hi! I hope you dont mind me posting this question on here but I couldnt find another one for stockings! its mine and OH first proper xmas (been together for 4 years but 1st xmas in own house) and I have decided our own tradition will be stockings but I have never had a stocking before
anyway, my question is do I wrap the bits to go in the stocking or just put them in as they are?? am having strange visions of wrapping oranges!!! 0 -
I personaly would do this: things like fruit, nuts sweets I wouldnt wrap just put in stocking loose, but if your getting some little present bits then I would wrap them up first0

I wrap them because otherwise he'd just tip it out and see everything at once :rolleyes:
'Our' tradition is to open our Christmas presents together at midnight. We get the fire roraing, have a bottle of champagne and sit under the tree. It's so romantic, I really look forward to it every year!
Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
