i have been to my pound shop, the home bargains and the home and bargains (think they are the same store) in my town cannot find the dairy milk minatures but will check again in the week. if i cant find them just going to stick to the rudolph chocolate bars, do you think if i could get some bows i could make ones for men normal (as on pics) and for ones for women do female ones or would it look daft? going to have to get some supplies this week and have a go see what they look like.

I would put a bow on an antler for the ladies, and perhaps 'rouge' the cheeks and/or do eyelashes?

Hi Helen is it just a white gel pen you use to write on the card for the sweets?

Sorry I've been away for the weekend and am catching up on the thread.

Hollie - Yes I write with a white uni-ball SIGNO pen..... think they cost £1.99 - I am never without a couple on the go.

Are you sure about the sweets .....?? I can use them myself , if you have enough and don't like to say xxxxxxxxx I have never been into a Mr SImms before this weekend either ..... I found on in Christchurch.

I have used coasters for the covers of small note books, I don't have a picture of one at the moment, but will add one here when I have done one.

Hi Hogshead - I don't use the vacumn part of my sealer when I do my bags. Hope you get the right Nestabilities .... I got confused myself!!

Hi Jemtom - I lOVE the idea of lady and gentlemen reindeer ...... I'd never thiought of that ........ you've inspired me to have a go ....

and then you inspired me even more ..... on the lady and gentleman theme (but not reindeer) ..... I could dress the chocolate bar in a dinner jacket or a posh frock - as favors for a Prom or posh adult affair .......

And why not a kilt for New years Eve ????/ What have you started????

Ooooooooooooooo I found these big marshmallows again ......... only got a few though .... enough for about 6 little rudolph bags ...... they are called STRAWBS and they were in the pick n mix section at a motorway service station!!!!!

I was fancying some chocolate fudge and there they were ...... !!!

flyingpig - im glad i helped you with some ideas, you will have to post some pics if you make them so we can all have a look.
hollie84 - i had a look in wilkos picknmix and they never had any either, have you looked on ebay? or online at sweetshops?

Hi Everyone,

Thought i would share my attempt at Reindeer food with you all. My handwriting is no where near as good as yours helen so i'm not even going to attempt the freestyle approach:rotfl:

I made the bags by cutting out some small pieces of angel hair and folded in half then sewed up the sides to make a bag. i then used some name plate cards that i happen to have spare and covered one side with papermania backing paper and some printed text. Some more pics on my blog of other little xmas bits i made if anyone wants more idea's.
