Hi posted both sacks today and sent tracking via pm 👍

That's me out now. I just have the two I need. Did go in b and m today but most of the christmas stuff is now storage boxes! Talk about bums rush to get rid 🙄. I didn't see any initial sacks or stockings.

If happen to go anywhere else I'm happy to look

Hiya do you still have a spare L stocking pls? X

Wishingitwerefriday · 18/12/2020 19:31

Hi does anyone have an A or a F sack by any chance? X

I finally managed to get an F sack in Matalan on Friday so you could try there?

It's doesn't match the other sacks I've bought but had no other choice. Our B&M haven't had any sacks or stockings in for couple of weeks now.
Had to get a generic hessian sack for the dog🙄

patiently waiting to see if they bring the Santa sacks out again this year Grin

I need 11 this year 🤣🤞🏼😁

bingsulaflop · 14/08/2021 22:17

Does anyone know when they first came into stores last year? Just in case they do them again this year and I can get them ASAP Grin

lunar1 · 15/08/2021 09:59

I need 6, I was too late last year so I'm watching for the first signs of them appearing!

I've been checking every couple days but nothing yet, I can guarantee I get all but one letter 😂
GotTheDisneyBlues · 15/08/2021 10:19

How much were these please? Grin

FoolShapeHeart · 15/08/2021 12:47

@GotTheDisneyBlues can't remember exactly but they were a bargain, around a fiver for the stocking & under a tenner for the sack I believe.

FoolShapeHeart · 15/08/2021 12:55

@GotTheDisneyBlues £3 & £6 I think from looking back through the thread, there was a bottle bag too that was cheaper again.

lunar1 · 15/08/2021 13:18

Has anyone got pictures of last years?

Treezan82 · 16/08/2021 16:02

I'm here for when they start selling them too.- although my kids have the same initial...

bingsulaflop · 16/08/2021 16:12

Still nothing in shops round where I live..
Whenever they do come in, PLEASE post in the thread.. I have fomo this year 😂

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 16/08/2021 22:31

If you can't get the b&m ones Matalan had lovely initial sacks last year. I bought them for dds think they were £10.

haliborange0verdose · 03/09/2021 14:16

Hello! I was on this thread last year for the stockings and eventually managed to get all the initials I wanted. I'm hoping they'll do them again this year, but given that the previous year's ones were woolly fair isle stockings, I'm doubting that the velvet ones will be repeated. 😕
This year we have another family member, so I'm on the lookout for a D stocking from last year's range! I don't suppose anyone had a spare I could buy please??

I was on the thread last year under a different name and this is going to sound pathetic but it is one of my nicest memories from the shitshow that was 2020 as a lovely Mumsnetter found a sack with the right initial and posted it to me. I then was able to pay it forward and get a couple of sacks sent to another poster. They were selling like hotcakes and in a really rubbish year it was a lovely lesson in the kindness of strangers. I'll keep an eye out this year and if I can help anyone I will, although hopefully there'll be more stock this time round.

FireworkParrot · 07/09/2021 18:33

Although with all the supply chain issues this year who knows!?

Marcee · 07/09/2021 18:35

I dont get it

I've still got the ones from last year??

AlvinSimonTheo · 07/09/2021 19:12

@Marcee what don't you get?

Sn0tnose · 07/09/2021 20:13

@Marcee, not everyone managed to get all the initials they needed for their family, while others have had new additions to the family. I don’t think anyone is buying replacement stockings for initials they already had 🙂

Trytowin20 · 07/09/2021 20:39

@FireworkParrot mine too. Trying to buy letters for my not born daughter without knowing her name yet! Haha bought 3 letter just in case and then posted out the extras. Then on the lookout for others everytime I went to see if they had an F. Had everyone looking for an F lol

bingsulaflop · 07/09/2021 21:33

Should have mentioned earlier, I missed out last year but wanted to get them this year and if others are wanting them for additional family members, thought I would post an update on the only thread I could find. Smile

Hoping they make an appearance in my local shop but very fortunate to have at least 9 B&M Stores within a 20 minute drive 😂

I have 13 to get so hoping I can get them all!

whatwillicallmyself · 07/09/2021 21:50

Can anyone tell me what size the stockings were, I bought lovely stickings before but they were too narrow I was trying to squeeze things in them, I now have them as decorations on the wall Smile
