    Stocking fillers:

    Poundland -

    ipod shuffle plastic case & lanyard
    ipod mini pink or blue leather cases
    twisty rollers (pack of 10) in blue, purple or pink (2 packs would be needed for long hair, these are £5 in Boots!)
    bags of haribo chew sticks/mini bags of haribo starmix
    homer simpson socks, various sizes and designs
    bubble guns with bubble solution
    dog and cat treats (for pet stockings!)
    glitter bubble bath and hair gel
    4 x mini nail polishes


    Creative Christmas (MoneySaving Ideas!)
    Places to buy bits to make cards, wrapping paper, tags

    Poundland - craft box full of bits and bobs, 5x glue sticks, pads of coloured rough paper, zigzag scissors, 5x glitter glue pens
    WHSmiths - gummed stars, gold and silver pens (better to pay £2 than buy a cheap one as they run out really quickly)
    The Works - packs of A4 plain/coloured card £1 - perfect for cards and tags
    If you have a post room at work try popping in there for brown paper and string they usually have loads and are happy to give you some. If not, pop into your local haberdashery/market and buy 1 bundle of embroidery (cross stitch) yarn. Costs about 30p, cheaper than plain string, and much prettier. If you have a lot of tags to make you can seperate the yarns and retwist making twice as much yarn!

    Went in Disney store in Manchester today and they have half price colouring sets for little girls. Cinderella and Little Mermaid. Also had activity sets half price.. Cost between 2 and 3 quid each.
    Not sure if they are doing this in all the stores but would presume so :-)
