Kids ones also go up to size 4-7 and are £1.75 for 2.
They also have xmas slipper socks with cats and dalmations heads attached for £1.00 and 4 xmas designs - polar bears, xmas trees and 2 others that I can't remember I know one was pink for £1 as well. These are in the kids section but also go up to 4-7.

Wow, thanks for all your tips, must pop to Primark, just had foot surgery tho so am not able to get about much yet! So frustrating!0 -
For baskets - I just got a couple from the local 99p store, they had some with side handles, some with movable handles, and larger ones that were clased as willow laundry baskets. They also had some that were lined with a check material.:cool:0

Wow, all that in a 99p store! Wish we had one nearer. Didn't find any in Poundworld.
I'm a happy bunny as my four Christmas present hampers I've been collecting bits for are now finished, hurrah! They just need wrapping now, but I need to order some cellophane first. I'll post pictures later, but two are female toiletry hampers, one is a cooking hamper and the last one is an afternoon tea hamper - all full of bargains!

I've been reading this thread for weeks now, keep buying bits & bobs but now need to sort it all out as it's taking over the bedroom!
Thanks to all for the inspiration, don't usually think of Christmas till mid December!!!
Will post photos when I'm finally done!:heart: I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?

Hi peeps
Someone posted this on another thread I was reading but it looks like a really good offer. The codes have to be entered today to qualify for some things, but I registered and ordered a free eco stapler, and OH ordered a torch (what else? lol) All free too ...!
