I had a little tootle into town today ….im getting brave now …on the bus again….. I bought a few more bits for Christmas ….biscuits and chocolates for my Mom…. And my absolute find of the day ….. A foldaway bag. Have you seen these…..the bag gets folded up and fits into an attached little pocket …..it can then just be popped into your handbag or even your pocket. Never will you have to buy a bag in a shop again ….. These bags are navy blue and have blue flowers on them. They are really very pretty and only £2 each. I admit that I bought ten of these …..I will give one to my Mom and one to my next door neighbour and keep one myself. The others are Christmas presents ….i can pop them into an envelope for friends and relatives that I won’t be seeing …..they will still get a token gift.

@Traceyjayne they are already starting to charge here as well for a bag so I usually have one always with me

That’s what I thought …small and lightweight so won’t cost a lot in postage. But practical and useful. Our shops charge a lot for bags now so to be able to keep one of these in your handbag is great.

It's great to pick up some cheaper little gifts from time to time. Some people can be embarrassed by a big gift.

That’s what I think ….our postage costs are very high here so to post anything heavy would cost more than the gift itself. I try to stick to scarves, gloves, nail sets, wool for the knitters,

@LindaOHio we now only get mail delivered on certain days. Yet they still charge first class and second class postage …..
