Hi
We always buy a small gift for our friends kids every Christmas, but now they are getting older (between 8-13), this year we have just got a mixture of sweets for them. We did plan on putting them in clear cone shaped bags from Lakeland with some ribbon, but the bags are tiny so we need to rethink! We have some zipped plastic bags, but they aren't very attractive. Any ideas on how to make it look attractive, we were thinking of trying to make them look like santa's sacks.

I still buy the small clear divider plastic boxes you can get from home and bargains etc and fill with sweets. They look really professional.

eBay has all sorts of christmassy cellophane bags. They might have some big enough.

Thanks! That's a great idea 0 -
The Florist is the Friend you need!
You can buy cellophane by the metre from them, off metre wide rolls.
Plain or patterned - choose which you like, cut to size to fit the sweets you're giving, tie with curling ribbon and a tag.
Price varies on the florist - usually about a pound a metre?0 -
Thanks all for the great ideas! Although problem solved! Seems the bags I pulled out of the drawer were icing bags.....and the presentation bags were right at the bottom of the drawer. Ooops!
So now sweets are going in those with some ribbon tied on the top.
Thanks again!0
