B&M have changed their initial stockings to grey fur, swap/help thread

230 replies

TwinsAndTiramisu · 12/09/2022 18:33

Thought I'd set this up just in case...

Bloody B&M, after running the same red velvet sacks and white topped velvet stockings for several years, have had the amazing idea to turn the white fur trim to grey. Super.

So any of us with new family additions will need to get the whole set new to match...or have an odd one out, which will irk me every time I see it!

Anyone who is looking to sell their last years sacks/stockings or swap this year, please comment below and hopefully between us, we can sort each other out!

There's an A on Vinted www.vinted.co.uk/kids/other-kids-items/2301624801-initial-stocking-a

TwinsAndTiramisu · 11/10/2022 20:04

I don't even think of looking on Vinted, I'm straight to eBay! Was just about to report back that there aren't any A's there and literally just seen you've found one @gobblegobblenibblenibble Fantastic!!

Oh no! That's so annoying! Keep looking and hopefully one will come up. I still need an R but haven't even come close to getting one yet :(

MossGrowsFat · 12/10/2022 12:00

No help, but I love these threads, this one and the fridges thread (which No doubt will be contentious again this year) makes me feel very Christmassy.
I just know how excited I would be to get the letter I was looking for. Good luck.

Ah it was sold by the time I saw this, also I need a red one to match the others so grey no good anyway ☹️

Thanks for thinking of me though! If you see a red one please tag me. I'll do the same if I see an A!

Do you still have the C? If so you’d be a lifesaver!

TwinsAndTiramisu · 15/09/2022 15:12

I know...I much prefer the white, but it will irritate me having 9 items that match then one that's off. So...do I sell all 9, probably for a higher value, and replace with the grey I don't like as much, and have a complete set.....or, hold out for the elusive R in white which may never materialise!

Or as a third option, you could get a bloody grip. They're polyester stockings made in China, not precious heirlooms. Does it really matter what colour of trim they have?

I'm desperately looking for a red and white one with the letter M. Very similar situation as everyone else, was pregnant last Christmas when I purchased one for everyone else in the house but we had no idea on the name of the baby.
Knew I should of just purchased the 3 letters we had in mind for the names on the list 🙃
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

MamaofTwoBubbas · 21/10/2022 18:17

Hi girls,
has anyone got a N red and white stocking?
same problem as most of you, only have three and can’t find an N for my new addition!

thanks! :)

MamaofTwoBubbas · 21/10/2022 18:19

Hi, there’s currently a M stocking on vinted ! :)

KhaleesiOfChaos · 21/10/2022 18:23

Why don't you replace half? You could alternative grey and white?

RonneeW · 22/10/2022 12:40

Dont suppose you have a link at all? Thanks x

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 22/10/2022 12:47

I know it's a nuisance, but if the red stocking part is the same, would you be able to buy a new one and replace the trim if you have no luck with swaps or finding them?

Rockandgrohl · 22/10/2022 16:17

There's an L on vinted! Im still after an i

Managed to find someone selling a M on Facebook Marketplace, just waiting on delivery! Spotted a few different sellers on there if that helps anyone. 😀

SurpriseIncoming · 25/10/2022 10:03

Finally found a C on eBay, but they want £25 :(. It would be cheaper for me to replace all of mine to the new set
