I seen about 10 metres of cellophane with gold stars for just over a fiver, does that sound like I am getting the right thing?

Hi, sorry if this has been posted before (I did a quick search but couldn't really find what I was looking for), but can anyone think of any alternatives to chocolate that are still within the gold theme?

I am thinking of making a couple of these up but my mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes this year, & although she is still allowed chocolate it obviously has to be in moderation so I don't want to fill it up with choc too much...

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

I've seen sugar free Werthers in Tesco in gold wrappers, would these work? Or how about some diabetic chocolate wrapped in gold tissue paper with a gold ribbon round it.

She said not to bother with diabetic chocolate when she was first diagnosed as apparently it gives you the squits & she said normal chocolate is fine in small doses but since I was planning on making a few cupcakes as another small gift this year I think that'll be too much for her.

I did think maybe some nuts in some gold cellophane but that's about all I can think of & wondered if the crafty folks here had any other ideas! Thanks for your input though, much appreciated

Don't assume diabetic chocolate is 'the same' as regular chocolate. It can have unpleasant side-effects, and the person concerened might not thank you for it, any more than you'd thank someone for a bag of prunes and 4 ripe figs.


Is there anything that's not confectionary that's gold-coloured? Small soaps/bath things? They might be more pertinent.

There's lots of lovely gold things around that aren't sweets, but I can only think of, well, gold, really! Chains, necklaces, braclets, rings - I'd happily have any of those, but not really the idea for this kind of thing!

Hmm I hadn't thought of gold coloured smellies - I will have a look today thanks for that idea!

Hehe as much as I'd love to give her real gold I think that would blow the budget this year
