  • 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!

    visor microfibre (for his helmet again)
    miniature alcohol
    choccy coins

  • 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 instead
