    We make our own -

    Draw a large Key onto a cardboard box, cut it out then the Kids can glue/stick/sticker/draw the Key themselves - we have tended to do it after snack on Christmas Eve to 'get ready for Father Christmas'.

    Going shopping today to get the PJs, slippers and snuggly socks! Then maybe a few other bits from the pound shops if I see anything.

    There were lots of my first xmas items in poundland. You can still get her a nice sleep suit or bag, xmas bib, hat, rattle?
