don't know if anyone has suggested this, but you could make your own biscuits and pop them into a decorated pringles tube??

I kept last years pringle and twiglet tubes and covered them with red textured wallpaper I picked up from the charity shop..........thought about putting some chocolate biscuits in then but hadn't thought of putting those words on...........brilliant :T

Hi All, can I join you? So far I've made some jewellery, hand bag charms and bookmarks for the ladies in my family but I'm a bit stuck for idea's for the men, any suggestions? I've previously made pots of gold and Guinness pints (with liquorice and marshmallow sweets) but this year I’m completely stuck. I’m just looking for something simple, quick and cheap as these are extra’s to their main presents. Why are men so difficult to get presents for?! I’m also attempting to make cards this year. All suggestions welcome, thanks. Tarky

They are really cute, and would be great for little ones if you had a name on the ribbon, then put a little gift in the bucket.

Went to the co-op and they had some cadbury magical elves 3 for 50p so I have boutght some of them to go in and think i will do them rather than buy xmas tree chocolates.And on xmas eve I am going to put clues in them so they have to hunt for there xmas eve hamper.:D

I've just managed to find an ebay seller who has agrred to make me some blank wooden key shapes for my santa keys! I'm so pleased! Going to decorate them with glitter and paint etc

Thought I'd be lovely if I can get one each year then when LO is big enough to decorate it himself I can keep them to hang on the tree the following years.
