    Thanks for sharing this is a great idea.
    For thousands of people this Christmas, their must-have gift is far more vital than the latest gadget or toy – it’s blood. Please don’t let the festivities and cold weather prevent you from giving them the ultimate gift… give blood.

    Thanks for changing your post to advise about the edible glitter :D

    If anyone's interested there is a whole thread about reindeer food here. There are also threads in that forum about Snowman soup, flannel reindeers, reindeer poop etc! x

    I find a carrot (about 14p) does the trick just as well. Looks good if you bite half of it off before the morning too! ;)

    The only "christmas reindeer food" that I have seen to buy is rasing money for charity, I don't mind, giving £1 to charity especially if it means I don't have to have oats and glitter all over the kitchen!!
