Crafting for Christmas 2010, lets begin again......

Somewhere I found a mix for making your own chocolate bath stuff.......must plough through 'my favourites' and see if I can find it.
Like the idea of choc.angel delight......did 3 yr old grandson a cooking set for his birthday in June full of stuff like that he could easily mix.

edit: just found it - http://www.allfreecrafts.com/bath-and-body/chocolate-milk-bath.shtml.
If you google chocolate bath mix other stuff comes up as well that might be useful to make.

I am doing a chocolate "themed" hamper for one of my friends for xmas. So far i have a chocolate smelling candle, a chocolate face mask, a chocolate coloured bath poofy thingy and will put some nice choc in nearer the time. Any other suggestions greatfully received!!
:beer:

cocoa butter body butter/ lotion? Can also find choc soaps around (I used to make/ sell ones that looked like swiss rolls or choc bars) Chocolate brown fluffy socks or gloves? Avon did chocolate bubble bath at one point, too.

Yes cocoa butter body cream is a great idea, also the gloves especially if i can find fingerless mittens as she wears them quite a bit.

Thanks she will love all these. I am also doing one for her OH who is WW2 raf mad. So far have some bits off ebay including replica ration book and id card, but thought a tin of spam, some retro sweets and some other bits and bobs. Keep the ideas coming everyone:T

If you can knit there is a very simple pattern earlier on in this thread to mkae your own - it takes less than half a ball of wool

I LOVE the idea of a chocolate hamper! My bro got me a set of chocolate bath goodies in M&S a year ago, that I will never use. I think I might put those together with the film on DVD, some real chocolate and my SIL would love it!!

If you do a search on this forum for 'finished hampers' you'll see a thread with just pictures and a discussion thread on 'finished baskets'
