Maybe include some tubes of red, yellow and black writing icing so he can try and draw the badge on the cookies, or do some writing on there. The white choc chips are a good idea. You could go to Wilkinsons or somewhere and pick all of the red smarties out of the pick n mix to save you frorm buying loads of packets? You can also get Man U cake toppers on ebay (example here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/24x-Football-Team-logo-any-edible-Cake-Toppers-1-6_W0QQitemZ120469810392QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUk_Crafts_Cake_Decorating_MJ?hash=item1c0c8f6cd8&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 ) to stick on top of the cookies with a little blob of icing

Apart from doing my robin redbreast breakfast pots and one more flannel reindeer I think I'm about done on the crafting side of things.
Got to the point of tying up sons girlfriends birthday box(also at christmas) with ribbon...........just need the robin to finish off her christmas box, along with the rest that need wrapping up in one way or another.
I'll still keep looking in though for ideas I can shelve for next year...........or maybe some last minute ones.
Haven't done the pint glass (wrong colour flannel:mad:)-maybe next year for someones birthday.

Keep it up and keep coming with the ideas (except cooking or anything to do with it cos I'm c**p at it...........lol):rotfl:

how early can you make the cookies in a jar ??? I noticed that one of the recipes had baking powder as an ingredient , surely that will start working with the flour if I make them too early ??
