Not sure about i-pod as a stocking filler, but some good ides Ta

What a cool site, i went right there, i couldn't resist. Did you see the gift closet idea for keeping all your bargains in? My DH has one as he is bargain-hunter supremo in our house.

What is a balsa aeroplane?

a lightweight wood model one

have jsut bookmarked site for a read later on! how sad is that

halloween hijack, sorry, but look at this gingerbread house it's sooo cute

ohhhh

I thought that we were going to get a Christmas topic? Have they changed their minds?

mmmm
made a v crude gingerbread house last year with dd1 - nothing like that yummy picture of course!

still xmas ladymuck! the halloween house is just an excuse to get some icing practice!

WOW thats one big stocking, what ever happened to a satsuma and some chocolate coins .

lol @ ipod I hadn't seen that

well you could do I tunes gift vouchers instead I suppose

am adding:
i Tunes gift vouchers
Small boxes playmobil (the princess and unicorn in our case)

OK I will stretch to a small box of smarties and a cracker .

Do any of you still have a Xmas stocking?

yes! All of us, DH does mine, i do his and we both do the LOs.

My mum still does me a little one & OH & I do ones for each other. "Father Christmas" (or "mother & father christmas"!) still does one for LO! I tend to do most of it, but he gets sent to get bits and pieces - can't imagine OH going into Claire's accessories & getting clip on earrings, but he did it!

I am a sad soul too....not only have I bookmarked the page, I have also made my shopping list to make the "gifts in a jar".

which gifts in a jar have taken your fancy?and who for?
