Also think the gingerbread man is lovely.

I noticed when I went to look for him on eBay, in the TY range there is also a little bear holding a tree - Twinkling - who works out a bit cheaper, or if you have £10 to spare, there are gingerbread-man Hansel and Gretel beanies (cheaper to buy from USA than UK, even taking the delivery into account).

I wish they did a bigger one of him rather than the key ring but I suppose he will still look perfect in a hamper..x

anyone got any ideas where i could find gift bags large enough for hampers that don't break the bank ?

or any other ideas for hiding them while they are under the tree ?

Last year Poundland did HUGE bags. I havent seen them recently but the one near me has closed down, so I only go in there if I'm out of town. No doubt they'll do them this year as well though?
