Christmas Stocking Filler

Now the kids are back at school the months usually fly by and Christmas is here before you know it so I have now started putting my wins away for family Christmas presents. I should have started this earlier but when I win something I get really excited and want to give them to my children and husband straight away.
Anyone doing the same? ho ho ho :santa2:
"And may the odds be ever in your favor."

    I have quite a big box of Christmas pressies stocked up already - all prizes I have won throughout the year! It saves me loads at Christmas!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • I want to do this next year although to be honest I get so daft excited about winning anything no matter how big or small it is hard to keep me quiet about it! :)

    I have 6 of the 7 boxes of Lego I won stashed away. Gave one away last month along with a nerf gun and mask I won as part of present. I too intend to stash things away but end up just giving them out!

    I would do, but not won anything since February, so I can only hope and keep entering.

    ARRRRRRG

    The C word! No No No! It's September, early September, get a grip people.

    Next it will be the advents, the rush of newbie compers and the board goes mad, mad I tell you.

    Threads bumped 1,0000,000 times with the same answer. Stupid questions, naff prizes, prizes of 2% discounts on tat.

    I stash things all year, although I do share out some goodies throughout the year. I also save small freebies to fill the pockets of my daughter's felt advent calender. She's adult so loves all the little bottles of perfume etc.
