Shiningdove - Last year I was in a complete flap as I couldn't find my childrens sacks which I had picked up cheap in the sale from the disney store, I had searched everywhere and ended up looking for new ones, the cheapest priced ones which I found which also looked lovely was actually the £5 stockings from the teddy bear workshop. I ended up buying 3 of them as I make OH a stocking aswell!!
I then managed to find the ones for the kids so only used one in the end!! They are red velvet and have a fluffy top!

As for putting stuff in there for my OH I make it into a cheap and cheerful jokey type stocking!!
This year he has
rubik 360 puzzle
tube of sweetys
dangermouse socks
Whooppee cushion (each child has one aswell)
visor cleaner (for his bike helmet)
visor microfibre (for his helmet again)

I got a plain one and wrote my boyfriend's name on it in gold glitter, along the white bit at the top. However, I then saw some lovely felt snowmen and reindeer ones at work which are lovely so don't know whether to get one of those insteadD'you know, in 900 years of space and time, I've never met anyone who wasn't importantTaste The Rainbow :heartsmil0
