I thought perhaps they could be a good stocking filler for those hard to buy for male family members

I picked up some boxes of the mini candy canes (40 per box) in Poundland, but am now looking for inspiration for what to do with them! I initially thought about making a tiny version of the mice to hang on the tree, but I don't think that will work as they are too small and because of the cellophane wrapper. Has anyone any great ideas?

What about something like this?

That's what I thought as my DH is one of the worst to buy for haha, I am thinking now of doing the easy versions for the girls and giving DH his puzzle last and of course it will be the advanced puzzle haha:)

I have just seen a link to you thread on another thread and can I say...... what fabulous ideas!

I am off to read from the top! but just had to say how great it all is!

Thanks Rinroo and Shegrinch. The problem is with the size of them - they are only about 1 inch tall, and also the fact that they are in small cello bags rather than having cellophane wrapped tight round them like the usual candy canes. I may just have to resort to putting a few in a cello bag with a fancy bag topper, and selling them at the school fair for 50p a bag

Someone (thanks I forget sorry ) posted this yesterday which I think will be brill for your canes.
make them up as re link, pop some ribbon as a hanging loop & bag up either individually or in set numbers. I think they are divine.
