each child had a pillow case with our names etc on it that santa filled.
I've created a beautiful pillow case (or santa sack) for both of our children using felt, ribbons, bells, etc and adding something small to it each year. My daughter has santa carrying presents on one side, and 2 reindeer heads on the other. So far my son has snowflakes on one side. I also add their name and blanket stitch around the pictures in a contrasting colour.
