What to do with your Innocent Big Knit hats
Innocent's Big Knit hats have quickly become as much a part of Christmas as baubles and fairy lights, so it's always a delight to see them brightening up the shop shelves. It's such a cute idea, and donating a nice, solid amount to as good a cause as Age Concern earns innocent major kudos from me.
But as the hats have begun to accumulate on my desk, I've found myself answering the same question time and again: what are you actually going to DO with these things? Unless you have a pet pixie (or house elf) the options aren't immediately apparent. So I had a quick chat with Hannah at Innocent, who came up with the following fun suggestions:
• Gear stick warmer
• On teddies/ dolls etc (perfect size for Sindy, I'm told!)
• Tomato sauce warmer
• On top of salt/ pepper pots (to keep salt dry)
• Nose warmers
• Christmas tree decorations
• On top of your Christmas tree
Perhaps inevitably, when I asked my colleagues what they would use the hats for, they came up with the not so 'Innocent' suggestion of 'vibrator warmer'. And why not. But - can you do better than that? Let us know what are you are doing with your knitted hats!
I use mine in the fridge - on milk bottles, sauce bottles, juice bottles - anything! It looks so cute when you open the fridge door and see all these bottles wearing their wooly hats, as if to keep warm.
