Christmas mugs/cups

Hi all, has anyone seen any cheap Xmas mugs in stores yet? I'm wanting to get some in order to start making little gifts with them ( with hot chocolate sachets/marshmallows/choc bars etc wrapped in cellophane) . they're only to be used as stocking fillers so I don't want expensive cups - but ideally something Christmassy! Thanks

    I don't know about the normal stores, but I frequently see them in charity shops.

    I brought a christmas china mu in B&M Bargains (if you have one near you) for 99p.

    Alternatively (although I havent seen them in store yet) The Works usually do one with a coaster for £1.99.

    Poundland had some nice plain white china mugs with red woollen knitted cozies on them this week. I bought a few as stocking fillers, and will wrap them in cellophane with hot chocolate sachets, biscuits and a Lindt miniature chocolate santa in them.

    (Poundland also had packs of 20 clear cellophane bags with a gold star pattern, plus strips of glittery gold fabric ribbon to tie them up with - they look fab)
