Striped and spotted undies in an array of bright colours.(From Joe Fresh, my favourite cheap clothing line, available at our local grocery store.)

Striped and spotted Christmas decorations at Canadian Tire. (The same designer, Debbie Travis, has a line of fairy-tale-themed Christmas decorations, which has inspired me to do a small tree on that theme this year. The main tree will need to be decorated only in non-breakables because of the presence of a one-year-old in our house.)
