Did you used to get a 'magic christmas tree' in your stocking?

[baubleweed]

As a child we got one of these every year

ah yes baubleweed, and my DD will find one in her stocking this year.

Although on reflection, the one I bought doesn't really have any wrapping, so she won't know what it is (it came from another website so I didn't see the lack of packaging) and if I put it in the stocking she or DS may eat it.

every child should have a magic tree in their stocking

together with a polystyrene glider plane

and also a magic fish - anyone get those?

Yes yes yes!!!! See my list on the christmas stocking thread! Magic trees bought, magic fish still to buy.

I've never seen that before. Neat idea!

magic fish

where's the stocking thread?

I used to get them, and those cat soaps that grow hair when you expose them to the air.

i've never seen those trees at all, they're weirdy

magic fish used to come in crackers, those were the days hehe

what cat soaps?

where? where?

Think they've got them in Hawkins. They did have them in the Old Operating Theatre Museum gift shop for some odd reason

weird cat soap here

Ok, it wont let me go straight to it, but type cat soap in the quick finder!

brilliant

classic 'stocking' fodder - novelty value being of the essence for christmas morning glee in my experience

I could never understand other children getting actual useful things or proper toys of value in their stocking

yoyos are good too

I used to love shrinkies too.
And those faces with the magnetic bits and pen to make beards etc?

ooh what are shrinkies? and other magnetic things?

Just found the massive christmas stocking thread - janeite your list is really good!

Shrinkies are those things you colour in and then bake in the oven. They shrink down tiny, and you can turn them into keyrings etc.

shrinkies if itll let me go straight to them
