what websites do you use for lovely home things and gifts?

[margoandjerry]

I am looking for quite a few gifts and want to buy online but can't find what I want (including a gorgeous christmas stocking for my one year old - would like something really traditional and lovely).

To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, this website:

re-found objects

is lovely although the website is so annoying I've hardly ever managed to buy anything from there. I especially love this

this for things that are a bit different

Is that mad?

We love christmas in our house

YOU would like a lovely trditional stocking for your one year old.

they would probably prefer a scooby doo or tweenies oen thaat lights up and plays slade

trust me

but since you asked, past times have stockings at xmas

you are so right, of course.

She would actually love a whisk and some newspaper...her favourite toys of the moment.

But yes, I want a lovely Christmas stocking for her so we can be all "The Night Before Christmas"

Love your site southeastastra. Will look at Past Times too - I always secretly like that shop...

it looks nice in the photos, cod
and when gran comes round

I bought a stocking for mine from John Lewis and added their names and year of birth in red felt - pic in profile

i got our kids stockings for matalan but i like looking at this website

www.notonthehighstreet.com/shop/christmas

This is one of my favourites. I often look at it and sigh.

I made SmallDragons their Santa sacks. Red fabric and a different design on each one - DS1 has a reindeer, DS2 a snowman and BabyDragon a load of silver stars.

Exactly nailpolish! She'll have her stocking hanging up next to her cousins' and in fact they will open her presents for her, as they did on her birthday and then take them away and play with them while she focuses on the speck of fluff she's found.

Didn't realise it was that odd tbh.

dragon...nice picture of a bat but ??????

Are you saying I am bats?

graham & green
pia
anusha
plumo
thorsten van elten
labour & wait
pedlars

don't know if any have stockings though

we had ancient Magic Roundabout pillowcases

margoandjerry - have you really never come across Soupy before? He's a Mumsnet regular...

oh, so I am bats? OK. Fair cop

Still want a Christmas stocking for my girl though. Assume Christmas present is ok? Christmas tree? (is just me and the girl at home so no one else to worry about).

Mrs Badger - thanks for all the lovely websites. Perfect. Will do lots of shopping this eve...

Just thought about this and realised - am not bats at all

margoandjerry that website is hard work!

It is isn't it! Can't imagine how they ever sell anything tbh...

I think this shop is marvellous (and no, it's nothing to do with me!)
