LOW COST homemade christmas gifts

To start: CANDY BOQUETS. I have been making these for a few months now, in all different themes for all different occassions. They can range from £2 ish upto as much as you like to make. The smallest ones I made were as an alternative to goody bags for dd 5th birthday party. We had 40 kids so I needed to make something that looked good, but didnt cost the earth! I used little gold favour boxes (£6.99 for 50 from amazon), some florists foam (I always have stacks of this laying around, but you can use polystyrene, clay, or just little pebbles instead). Wrapped the foam in tissue paper, I then stuck pre-wrapped sweets and chocs onto wooden lolly sticks (for adults or older children its cheaper and safe to use wooden skewers), I used little squares of tissue pushed onto stick under the sweet and scrunched to look like petals! Then push the sticks into the foam, and voila! These cost approx £2 each to make, and had a choc lolly, a freddo, and about 10 little moams or similar chew type sweets. For larger boquets I use bigger boxes, or glass jars/vases which can be re-used by the recipitent, and i will use pretty cupcake cases instead of tissue paper for the petals. I also wrap the whole thing in cellophane and decorate with ribbon / themed die-cuts. The largest, best I have made so far was for my mum on mothers day, all the chocs / sweets were a pink and yellow theme (took some sourcing!), It had half a dozen large choc bars as well as approx 20 little sweets, choc shapes ate, it was arranged in a large glass fish bowl shape vase, and the finished product came in at under £12!
Once I figure out how to take photos on my new phone i will try and upload/post!
