Can anyone tell me if Primani has any fluffy socks out yet? Doesn't have to be Christmassy just fluffy (like bed socks type) last time I went they had nothing out. Also I'm looking for small and cheap foot creams. I'm wanting to do these: http://touchetsoiree.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/teacher-christmas-gifts.html?m=1

Also found this for cheap teacher/teacher assistant present: http://partiesandholidays.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Teacher%20Appreciation%20Gifts

Doesn't have to be Yankee candle
Thanks

Thanks pixtotts, that'd be great

You're welcome Mrs Moneypenny, found them on Pinterest. I can lose hours on that site I thought they're quick, easy and cheap presents (if you don't do Yankee candles) just something a bit different and not the usual chocolate and wine combo. I'm sure teachers like these too but they must get lots of them.

craftymummy Avon are doing foot creams which are christmassy, 1 lot have penguins and snowflakes on the tube but call them heel softening creams which I'm a bit iffy about foot cream would be better but meh stupid avon person who named them that ones £2.10... oorrr ginger and white tea (their usual footcare range so very often on offer bringing it to about £2.50 full price about £4 but as I say always on offer...), which is the seasonal one but no Christmassy label. I think its to replace the cinnamon and orange one they did last christmas which was the best thing ever invented I keep trying to find some on ebay 0:) lol. So I'm hoping this one matches that...
The Christmas label one says available soon on the website but reps can order it already plus rep means you don't have to pay delivery ...if you don't have a rep you can can find someone in your area on the website you can also order online through a rep which is funky though I've never tried it....

I am an Avon rep because of their foot creams, we didn't have a rep and me and my mum both love their foot creams (uh and a whole host of other things... I keep spending all of my commission I'm never going to make anything lol) .

Though I don't why I'm being nice about them... really p'd off today couldn't get hold of the person who was supposed to bring me my books, then after just over a week she says she will bring them today, and guess what... no sign of them!! Gggrrr! Sorry kinda needed a rant, been one of those days...
