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

230 replies

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!

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

That's ridiculous! Surely no one cares that much!

If I don't find an R for my newborn I'll get rid of my C and buy new ones for my two boys, so you can have the C if you still need it. I'm going to wait a while longer though and see if one comes up but if not I'll let you know!

£25?! Cheeky buggers

I know! I emailed and offered her £5 if it doesn’t sell at her desired price but she declined haha

Ooohhh! If you do decide to change, please do let me know. I love these stockings and hate the idea of having to change them all :(

Omg you’re literally amazing! You’ve made a pregnant woman’s week haha thank you

MamaofTwoBubbas · 30/10/2022 04:06

Does anyone have a N stocking or have seen any online? Thanks

PinkFizz1 · 30/10/2022 04:42

Does anyone have an I stocking in red with the white fur they are willing to sell please?

Goldmember · 30/10/2022 05:00

We had the problem last year with needing a specific letter. I picked up a wine bottle with the correct letter and sewed it on the stocking.

minirollmuncher · 30/10/2022 07:05

@SurpriseIncoming no problem! I had 3 last year with initials and now have baby on the way so need to buy new.

(Haven't named baby yet so can't even look for second hand!)

I'll dig it out either Tuesday or Friday and private message you a pic and to post. No charge or anything xx

Puddlepup · 30/10/2022 12:36

I am hoping to find a P in both the sack and stocking

TwinsAndTiramisu · 30/10/2022 13:07

I love that we're able to help each other out :)

Hi, has anyone found an N anywhere? I’m so stuck! Thanks :)

Ali98 · 01/11/2022 21:25

I am also looking one of the red with white fur stockings so they all match and I need a Q. Would so love to find one if anybody can help x

Thank you so much, I’ll go and see if they can post :-)

minirollmuncher · 05/11/2022 14:58

@SurpriseIncoming I can't seem to PM or reply to PM's at the minute.

Definitely have the C. Once Mumsnet have sorted out my messaging I'll message you for your address and send it across so it's with you for December. Is that okay? X

Ali98 · 05/11/2022 18:25

By any chance would anybody have a Q as like most of you I have the rest all matching. Thank you

I'm sorry to be the bearer of potentially bad news but I don't think B&M ever do a Q so even if you bought new you wouldn't get one

Ali98 · 05/11/2022 20:10

I had actually read somewhere there were a few letters they didn’t do so that answers that then, thank you.

PinkFizz1 · 05/11/2022 21:26

Still on the lookout for an I (and also a Y but I think that might be one of the letters they don’t do 🙄) if anyone can help!
