I sold quite a few on my stalls when I was living in Spain, €1.50 ... they sold very well, wrapped in xmas paper with a bow and curling ribbon.
Personnally, I would sell them for £1.

I gave them out to family and friends last christmas, and they went down VERY well. Made a lovely change, not sitting there writing out loads of cards.

Noticed today in Asda they had loads of like pocket money toys for a £1, sadly the kids were with me so couldn't get anything, can only remember cars mini puzzles off the top of my head think they possibly had disney princess ones too and other little stoking fillers but my mind has gone totally blank - sore head and assignment due not a good mix x

You mean you havent used the:

''santa is very busy and he has asked me to get some toys for him whilst i'm here as he might not have time - do you want to help choose'' line, :rotfl:

Then you put them in a bag and hide them, usually come christmas they have forgotten that they helped pick them, but i suppose it depends on how old they are and what your buying.

I think only have 1 more xmas of getting away with this before im rumbled.

yeah used to do that all the time with the oldest one when he was little, bought everything whilst he was there and he never remembered but he is now 10 so wuld know it was for him and the little one who is 3 has eyes like a hawk so would notice anything going in the trolley!

They do seem to be getting a lot smarter a lot younger.
and now with everywhere restricting carrier bags - it makes it a lot harder to double bag somethig so they cant see it.

I rarely have any money for xmas and theres even less this time. So will not be doing presents, maybe very small token gifts for immediate family [DH DS1 DDinL1 DGS DS2]and I freectycled all the decortations except the door wreath, so it will be some holly from the hedge row in a vase.

a couple of years ago we woke up on Christmas day to find our holly bush had been pruned overnight.....by someone in need of some last minute decorations!

We had a good laugh about it.... but we live in a cul de sac which is off another cul de sac....so we think it must have been a resident!:rolleyes:
