primark are selling some cute fleece sleeping bag blankets.

I got my kids 1 each they are £2.97 each and are made of fleece, they roll up when finished with and have a little carry handle sewn onto them so that they can take them anywhere. They are lovely if you have younger one's under 10 years old.

Ooh I like the sound of these! My daughter has a blanket that she carries everywhere, but really, any blanket will do as long as it's fleecy and feels nice. We don't have a primark nearby though Will maybe have to make a special shopping trip sometime soon.

Princess Woo - what £1shop did you get your jars from? Was it Poundland?
Am planning to do one for FIL as he always wants "nothing"
They look great! x

ooh er i cant remember.

It's the one that only has the mint green signage, not the other one that is navy blue & yellow.

Not very helpful but i never pay atention to its name i just know that its a £ shop.

i got the same jars from pound land 3 for £1 it is exactly the same as ikea jars which are 4 for £1.99:eek: the only difference between ikea jars and pound land jars is the lids!

I got about 5 packs.

Im gonna put a pair of funky socks in some of them and call them ''Sock Candy'', makes recieving socks a little bit more interesting.

And a couple more with hair bobbles and clips in for my nieces.

Just to use them up as i hate clutter, i have a use it or loose it philosophy.
