  • I spotted some childrens kids mugs in The Range yesterday, musical ones which play a xmas tune when picked up or magic picture ones when the picture appears when you add something hot to the mug, both 99p each. Picked up two musical ones for my Boys xmas eve hamper :)

    Found a squeaky snowman this morning in one of the charity shops - I'll pop that in just for fun. His box is getting fuller and fuller.............lol
    I've got some books I'd bought him, pooh bear and fairytales but think I'll put them as a present.
    Can't see me getting out of town to get pyjamas but I managed to get a quite hand towel from woolworths this morning and some reindeer bits to sew on it and on his flannel (had a white one left over from my brown/cream and white packs). Just hoping the colour doesn't run on it..........:confused: Oh well, if it does, I'll have a go at embroidery next year.

    Did get an advent calendar for him that I'm posting.........got it in the charity shop for £1.50, nice one with felt pockets on.

    I saw those activity packs in poundland, they were great, but I had already bought my xmas colouring stuff by then:o
