Just come across another poem for the gift wrapped toilet roll 'gift gag'


REUSABLE CHRISTMAS CARD
"Money's tight and times are hard.... So here's a reuseable Christmas card!" "MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Pooky

Not sure if anyones come across this one before but a great alternative to the sock monkey for this year....

The sock owl

Click on the piccies to make them bigger....looks nice and simple and I thought you could put in some rice to use as paperweights....bigger socks with a rice insert could be door stops, or make a few in different sizes with rice weights in the bottom and make your own "owl bowling" set...could be handy for younger kids?

pooky - thanks for that link.........it's brilliant !:T
My friend has a lot of owls where she lives and has a bit of a 'thing' about them. I was going to do something owl like for her and this fits the bill.............:T

We have a christmas card made 10 years ago,that says on the front "From our house to yours..." We then hand it to our brother who hands it back the next christmas. Now our neice wants to start a card for us the same way .....

Little idea OH came up with and I just remembered - I put it on the Thrifty Gift thread but thought I'd add if here as well.

If you've got any really small flowerpots (we had some little red ones with a seed pack)
cover the hole at the bottom with cardboard
fill it with birdseed
Pop some perspex on the top (stop the seed falling out)and with a glue dot stick a Robin on it
'Robin's Christmas Breakfast'

Think I'll add one of these to grandsons C hristmas Eve box this year

There lovely.

But no-one in our family likes hot chocolate, i might have to tweak them and use milkshake powder instead.

Ive had a few deliveries this morning - a few gift vouchers from coke zone which i only ordered on monday and some bits for crafting.

Normlly i'd be itching to get stuck in but i just cant find the motivation taday, which is bizarre as im child free cos there out shopping with DF for the day.

DD dolls hose should be delivered next week so i just need to find space to hide it.
