Gosh I'm like a big kid I'm so excited! The 2nd one in the picture doesn't look as good as the first never mind!
It's killing me not being able to show any of my family and friends, I've decided to do a little hamper for my mum and my sis which will have some snowman soup, yule logs and possibly a pot of gold and some reindeer food for the kids!
I'm on the look out for the chocolate spoons has anyone seen any around?

I've seen a few chocolate stirrers (cube of chocolate on the end of a stick) in the shops - I think they'd be pretty easy to recreate using ice cube trays but I can't seem to find any plastic sticks.

The long wooden coffee stirring sticks in cafes are good for these - I did some last year. Longer and slimmer than lolly sticks;)

Oooh Starbucks have these, not very money saving to go in and have a cuppa, but you might be able to acquire some from there if you don't need to many.#

They sit in a container in our shop beside the milk, sugar etc etc if that helps.

just wondered what is the right kinda hot choc to put in these? I was thinking the instant hot choc you make using water, but noticed someone mention cadburys drinking choc, which is the one you add milk too. Do I need to mention on it somewhere to add water or will people think to add milk, if you get what I'm saying? I'm confusing myself over this so hope someone can work out what I'm getting at lol :rotfl:Thanks

The standard Snowman Soup ditty says to 'add hot water and sip it slow' so perhaps just change water to milk on the label

Bought 4 lovely Christmas mugs in Wilkos yesterday for £3. Just need to get some marshmallows now.
