Thats a brilliant idea, that is so weird as I downloaded some free knitting patterns for baby items (xmas prezzies) and one of their lists they had cafetarie knitted cosies and mug hugs, they'd be a godsend, have to do some looking,
Think help may be the word, but have started knitting a cerise hooded poncho for my cousins girl (shes nearly 2) that ber her xmas prezzie done. xx

Hi all dont know weather anyone has already posted this but t*sco have 20% off toys when entering a voucher code online. you can also collect in store if your local tesco has a tesco direct collection point. i saved £8.94p on 4 items you can also use clubcard vouchers, so you could end up not spending a penny !!! hope this comes in handy for someone xxx

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I have just bought scented candle jars on ebay. They only have apple cinnamon scented left, but are similar to Yankee Candles (they state specifically that they are not Yankee, but do come from USA) Anyway they are only £2.99 each (20oz jar) with £2.99 delivery charge. I have bought 5 but only charged a single delivery charge.

Maybe be good as little token gifts or simply to have at home.

Hmm, I really needed to know that! Still, they are much cheaper than Yankee, so I will look at it that way:D:D
