Just found these little guys, they are so cute. I think I will be stocking up on white socks LOL, when they come down in price after the kiddies go back to school

    They are cute. Wonder if there is a way you could stuff them with more socks rather than rice then the socks would be wearable still... Novel way to give socks as a prezzie.... Now just got to find something cute to do with pants ;)

    they are fab - we are definately going to make them

    I think the rice makes them stand up better though - what else could you stuff in them (incase the rice falls out everywhere)??

    So simple though and no sewing involved.

    I wonder if those pellets/beans that you stuff beanbags with might work?

    What about dried lentils in the bottom section, mixed with some dried onion & herbs & a stock cube with instructions to add water & simmer for"New year lentil soup to warm your insides while the socks warm your toes"? Maybe best to put the soup mix in a plastic bag inside the sock though!

    HTH;)

  • I love the idea of the soup mix, I think i'll give that to my brother as a novelty gift, he loves making soup. :D excellent!!:money:


    was just thinking - instead of rice, could you maybe not fill with sweeties? such as m&m's, skittles, smarties that sorta sweets??

    different type in each layer and maybe finish off with a choc in the last layer, such as a roses choc or quality street choc?

    sorry if its not what anyone's looking for! xx
