Can I ask what the chill pills actually are?

Midnightraven3 is right, they are tictacs, gave them to my dad as a jokey pressie as he's always stressed at work! He said he got a lot of funny looks when he busted them out and took a handful! I used a baby food jar and just decorated it

maybe his colleagues thought he was having a bit of a breakdown

instead of minty fresh breath:rotfl:


i made chill pill bath bombs last year

jetty -love all your stuff :T I use tic tacs for my chill pills but I use old pill bottles and stick a label on them -found some off a joke pill site for shopaholic and stuff like that. They make a good little novelty pressie

i had to try them out when i made them
got a big tall vase so i could see what it did
filled it almost
and dropped 2 in

it was like a volcano:rotfl:
i think i filled it too much:rotfl:

Thanks Mary

Were the bath bombs hard to make Midnight? I can imagine the mess that must've made :rotfl:

Thanks Ginger I had a nightmare with the cones, lol, i put everything in one instead of putting the choc in a separate one and tying it so it was a little messed up by the time people got them!

In the pots of gold are Ferrero Rocher, werthers, gold coins and some other chocs i found with gold wrapping and at the top is a scratch card. I think they worked out at £2.33 each to make including the scratch card and pint glasses!

i have 2 recipes for bath bombs that i use
one has cornflour, one doesnt

the ones i posted doesnt, it makes more "rustic" bombs
the cornflour one makes very smooth ones

i have also tried ones that fizzed or didnt stick
like everything its trial and error
(and my mother getting boxes of bath granules that fizz, AKA failed bathbombs!)
