santa stockings continued...

these manolo blahnik's might just be the perfect santa stockings....i know that nothing would fit inside other than a dainty foot....but with these hanging off the mantle...who would mind.... 

The race was on this past weekend, as I mentioned HERE, I was madly searching and thinking up not only fun, but useful goodies to use as stocking fillers. Finding female fabulousness seems easy to me but finding equally good loot for the boys is tough.....Does anyone else have that difficulty?

Some ideas so far...please feel free to add to the list...I could use some help....

Cashmere socks

Scented candles

Fragrance...I am thinking Frederic Malle...read about those HERE

Embroidered hankies for the girls, plain linens for the boys...
A velvet bow tie

Eye masks from Mary Green

Luxe travel books...great little guide books for many European, American and Asian cities

Chocolates...old fashioned violet and rose creams 

Bottles of boiled sweets and bags of burnt butter caramels

Personalised m and m's...little messages printed on either side of the sweetie...so cute

Kiels body products for the boys

Mac lipgloss for the girls

The perfect red lipstick...Bobbi Brown this year...

Cook books...Aussie, Bill Granger is this year's choice

Muji gel ink ball point pens....both fine and thick point

Soaps from Designer Guild

A novel....mystery for the boys, romance for the girls

DVD's...I prefer Miracle on 34th Street but maybe the Twilight series... 

CD's...for the oldies who still like to load and listen

Note cards and note books

Skipping ropes .... that idea came from HERE

Playing cards

Coloured pencils

False eyelashes from Shu Uemura....see what I mean....I'm better with the girl goodies...

Let's talk 'stockings'.....Please tell me your clever 'Santa' discoveries........with only twelve sleeps to go.....time is running out....xv
