    Little xmas outfit for 0-6 month baby. Thought could use box as a memory box. Contains a little tracksuit bottom, long sleave top and socks plus a t-shirt - all approx £5 in Asda or Tesco sale... Box (had). Polar bear was a freebie sent off for (from freebies board)

    Also prepared snowman cone, reindeer and yule log for MIL - all DD's handiwork (stickers from snowman stickers in a pound shop). Snowman tray from B&M bargains £1.99. Cones sourced with help from passion8:A:T

  • savingholmes - I love your white & silver reindeers, they're really effective! I might have to borrow your colour scheme if you don't mind!.. I've been scouring everywhere near me for more brown or beige flannels but everywhere has sold out!

    savingholmes - love the snowman tray, snowman soup, reindeer and yule logs. I was trying to think of a way to present/give my yule log and reindeer and the tray is perfect. will have a look in B&M tomorrow.

    Churchies the hampers look lovely... :T The hat boxes look very nice too - they are the sort of container you like to keep after! So great choice!

    Anyone doing a black and white theme - B&M bargains had black and white paisley style boxes - 2 for £5. I thought they looked really classy...
