Being a bit disorganised I tend to do my Christmas shopping at the last minute. This year I was determined to start earlier and though this may seem late for many people it’s pretty early for me. I still have a lot of shopping to do – I’m waiting for inspiration for a few and it had better come soon. Tonight I plan to start knitting a scarf – nice and easy and suited to my knitting skills. I’m going to practice and try for some socks next year like the ones here. These are perfect stocking fillers for the more crafty and talented among you but for others here are a few shop bought ideas.
1 An orange – it wouldn’t be Christmas without an orange or tangerine in the Christmas stocking – at a real push it could be replaced by a Terry’s chocolate orange.
2 A bag of chocolate money – always a good idea to have some chocolate at Christmas just in case there’s not enough going around.
3 Scarf, socks or a belt – either shop bought or homemade. You can’t go wrong with accessories.
4 A book – at least one in the stocking and for the booklovers another pile under the tree.
From our site you can pick up
5 Tube kits: Nature or Games or a Knitting Nancy.
6 Worry Sheep or Worry Dolls
7 A little something musical – harmonica, tambourine, snap clap crocodile, maraca
Good luck with the rest of your shopping. I’m off to cast on some stiches for my scarf. Lets hope I get it finished by Christmas Eve!
