Cheap Stocking ideas for Adults?

Speaking of retro sweets, I've got my hubby Fishermen's Friends and Herbal tablets for the nostalgic value and Humbugs for the obvious reason! :rotfl: Bah!

snowman soup is a (usually home-assembled) cone of hot chocolate powder topped with marshmallows.

Primark so some cheap things - like slippers, handbags that sort of thing. You could also wrap up a scratch card?

Hi

Yep, snowman soup is a cone with hot chocolate in the bottom, then i am putting choc buttons then marshmallows. I have a candy cane as a stirer and a a poem about snowman soup. All tied up nice with ribbon. Doing them for the kids as well but with mini cady canes for stirers.

If you had more time you could have made a sock monkey each as a twist on a pair of socks!! (cant remember if i said that last time) but unless you have a sewing machine they can take a while to make!

I don't remember it being one of the Heinz 57. I must pay more attention at Sansburys :rotfl::rotfl:

I've got a big bag of popcorn for £1 for my OH (31) to really fill up the leg bit of his stocking. The foot bit is £1 haribo sweets, and I'd like to get a bottle of cider or lager to pop in there too for £1ish. So a stocking for £3. (We use the same one each year we got from the market and I added extra stitching and beading etc too.) I thought I'd add a movie rental voucher, or buy a film from £1 shop/cheap in supermarket and it's done.
