I dragged Kit into a few charity shops at the weekend (only two) and for under £5 I got all the bits below.

The door hanger things are all different Christmas related characters, so will be a fun easy craft thing for Kit to do in a few months and decorate the flat at the same time (they are basically just sticking bits of foam together). I love wooden knitting needles, and one of the pairs were a beautifully marbled painted wooden pair - they had more pairs and I had to restrict myself to one of each size or I would have bought them all. More ribbons and buttons and elastic for hairbands, binding for some more bunting and some thick elastic ready for a skirt. Lastly, but definately not least, an awesome book full of patterns for sewing dinosaurs. I've already got a book of how to knit dinosaurs, Kit could have a very dinosaur heavy Christmas this year!
