Twelfth Night

January 6th is Twelfth Night, or if you're superstitious, the last day to take down your Christmas decorations. But don't bin everything just yet! Here are a few things to save for a thrifty Christmas next year.

Cracker decorations- can be used to seal packets for some homemade treats next year:


Christmas cards- cut out to make gift tags:



You can recycle any leftover cards at Tesco supermarkets:


Long pieces of ribbon can be saved to wrap around smaller presents next year:


PS There are also some great Christmas bargains in the shops at the moment, to get you prepared early for Christmas 2013. Stick it all in a clearly marked box and you'll be laughing next year. Here are a few I found:

Waitrose 2 tier cake stand, £0.69:


Lindt Irish Cream Truffles, again in Waitrose, £1.14 (these are also available in special edition stracciatella flavour, yum!):


M&S Christmas dinner party invitations, £50p:


Happy crafting and sales shopping!
