    Hiya

    My girls and I made chocolates for everyone this year. Everyone absolutely loved them and DD1's teacher showed them to the rest of her class - she was so chuffed. They were really easy to do, and we bought the gift boxes (13p each) and personalised them too ... now that did take ages, and two tonnes of glitter per child!!!! :eek: but everyone loved those too. We will definitely be doing them again.

    If you have a little one, you could laminate a picture of your baby onto some nice card to make a bookmark - I am sure she would appreciate that. My MIL likes to read too, and I ordered one for her with the school photo on it.

    Give me a shout if you want any more info on any of these ideas.
