Christian Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Christian,I saw all of those in M&S yesterday - especially love the puzzle & the cookie cutters Actually there are lots of really lovely things in there this year The cookie cutters 'slipped' into my basket by mistake. LMW is science mad so a few of their kits always end up in the basket and the stockings chez Webmuppet are judged to be incomplete without at least one clockwork bug/penguin etc. Try charity shops for sciencey things. I am sure that Oxfam had a few bits - as well as WH Smiths...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks for this - my kids love their stockings and I keep saying "dads doing it this yr" and am met with cries of "nooooooooooooooo" Not sure why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 The stockings were the best bit when we were children, & I know my girls love them. I really enjoy finding little bits & pieces for them & do so throughout the year, so they often have a little reminder of a holiday or day out. I have hinted that they may soon be a bit too old for them &they were not amused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 How about buying a few of these soaps as stocking fillers? Not exactly novelty/fun items but definitely supporting an excellent cause. I will be buying some for friends and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have hinted that they may soon be a bit too old for them &they were not amused See my post above about doing stockings for my older sisters, and tell your girls not to worry, they have a good few years before they're too old! Stockings ARE the best bit, I would rather have that than a proper present really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have hinted that they may soon be a bit too old for them &they were not amused My Mum said the same. I politely reminded her that 27 is no age!! I popped into M&S in Newcastle yesterday and saw the cookie cutter and 125 years star cutters in a tin. They are lovely. OH informs me there is a box waiting at home from M&S!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 All I want in my stocking & for Xmas is a ball of wool & some knitting needles. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 just one ball emma??? you will finish that by just after dinner what about a selection of yarns I darent ask for any more wool, Ive started hiding it under the bed but it keeps calling to me when I go near the yarnshop cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Well I didn't want to sound greedy. But most people would buy me a few balls anyway. Wool is my guilty pleasure along with handbags. Being as I can't have chocolate aymore! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I'll have to do a pic of my fabric stash! I have already bought my quilting buddy her pressies. One value finder (it's a red strip of plastic which helps you sort your fabric into lights, mediums and darks, although it can't do red for obvious reasons), and templates to make a feathered star. Also needles for me and a leeetle more fabric which was on sale and I want to do some applique ) I bought these from The Cotton Patch UK. http://www.cottonpatch.co.uk/acatalog/shop.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Oooh! Found a new website filled with all kinds of glowy stuff. Everyone likes glowy stuff! http://www.glowstickcity.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Poundland has normal glow sticks most of the time in tubes of 20 and they occasionally have things like chunky bead necklaces and other glow stuff. My OH goes in there once a week to see what's new and stocks up with bits and bobs for the children. There is another pound shop here too where I got 3 balls of fluffy wool for £1 and some 15mm needles for YD's birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
