  • Some great ideas on this thread, I love the scrapbook idea! How about a short treasure hunt - hide the tickets and do a trail of clues around the room, maybe put a chocolate with each one too. Not too many clues though in case she gets fed up!

    If someone was giving me tickets for a show, I would like to just open an envelope and find them. It would be a big surprise as I'd probably anticipate a token or something like that.

    The most intriguing present we ever got was small, and rattled slightly. As it was for the whole family, I was completely flummoxed. (I'm a squeezer, shaker and rattler!)

    It was a cheque, folded to fit inside a little medicine pot!

    Roll them inside a kitchen roll middle and turn them into a cracker!

    Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!
  • i bought the same things once for my daughters. it took ages but i constructed a treasure hunt, writing poem clues. they loved it - although youngest (aged 10 at the time) was convinced every clue was 'up' the turkey!
