Favour ideas

Hi All

There are some great valentines fortune cookies on the John Lewis website (am I allowed to add a link?). They are half price in the sale (£2.50 for 10). I ordered loads for favours and am very pleased (they taste rather nice too...well you have to try one don't you!!!). They just fit in standard square boxes.

Mine had best before dates of October 09.

Thought it may be useful to someone. :T

    We bought indoor sparklers for 63p for 10 from Whittards. They went down a storm, although it would be an idea to make sure there was a lighter on every table. We only had one smoker, and he got really popular.

    That sounds really cool! How did you present them?

    Hi!

    They are all love quotes. I stupidly didn't keep the insert of the one I 'tested' but it was something about love being blind. Hope this helps.
