Buy packs of baby christmas socks - these were from BM Bargains - pk of 3 pairs for 99p .... you need 12 pairs in all .... so this cost me £3.96, add some sticky numbers .... pop in so sweets - and hang up with pegs

These are a little fragile - so may only last one Christmas but I am giving these in a sealed cello bag to all my friends at work instead of a card this year ...... 12 mini gingerbread men from Marks and Spencer 99p, very small red buttons and some narrow gingham ribbon, I added small black stickers to accentuate the eyes .... but they are not really necessary -

This thread is great:j.
I am doing xmas eve hampers for the first time this year and I am doing a little kit for the kids to decorate their own door hanger so santa know who's is who's room and also a santa biscuits to make little jar and wondered if any one had any ideas for a little poem for them and also a label template.
It was my first year crafting last year and loved it but I am not very creative, hoping to improve with the brilliant ideas on here. :beer:
