    If you look in Argos they have those small plastic ones not sure of the price though.

    I did m Dad an Aussie themed stocking for Christmas - put in; Aussie wine, lucky dollar, vegemite, Aussie bodycare stuff, Aussie haircare sachet, Steve Irwin book and a video about Cairns. Think you can get Tim Tams in some Sainsburys?? Also how about a travel journal? I got one for my best friend's wedding (along with matching luggage tags and travel wallet) in Paperchase - they were all 50%/30% off. hth!!

    To all you 'Hamp'sters ;) on here.................I may have a little tip for you to try next year (sorry if somebody has already mentioned doing this). I've just shredded up all the used wrapping paper we had this Christmas, to use as packing for next years christmas hampers :D It looks good because I stuck to gold, red and cream paper this year, so it's not a mish mash of colours ;)

    I've also just cut up all the cards to make gift tags, so the ones that are coordinating colours should look pretty cool on them. Just need to think of themes for people now :rolleyes::rolleyes: :o

    savvy - you do sound organised. I've got as far as cutting up my christmas cards to recycle either as cards or tags...........wrapping paper was silver that I used and I'm keeping what was left to re-use this year. Other pressies came in all sorts of different colours.........managed to salvage a bit but not a lot so it went in recycling bin.

    Surely it would have been easier to store unshredded, ready to shred next Christmas?
