Books!
Last year we filled stockings for my two girls with second-hand books. They're voracious readers, so it was a challenge to find something they'd actually want to read and something they hadn't, but we're going to try it again this year. Maybe it'll become a tradition.Community Manager

I buy all my Christmas outfits and decorations from charity shops.
We always do a stocking! I love recycling our tree and wreath. I use recycled envelopes and help the twins to make cards using art supplies we have. We reuse most things apart from the food obviously. -
I`ve already ruined it for mesen...bought 2 new tops and they were reduced in price...so I`m not too naughty!

For wrapping paper over Christmas I always use postal paper and string. I feel it's really authentic and traditional but is also cheaper and easily recycled.Scope
