Magic Fairy Drops - would be OK for Birthdays as well as Christmas - using Jazzies from Poundland - bags weigh 250 grams - and I have put 50 grams in each Fairy Drop bag.

The fairy is from a pack of Poundland stickers - but I there are a lot of fairy stickers in the shops that would be equally as good.

Helen - what size are the labels set you've used above? Is it 4 or 8?

Ladies, I know this will be on here somewhere but Im in dire straights and need to act quickly! The punches I have that i THOUGHT would be right for the ES mints are far too big!! Can you tell me the size of your punches for the ES Mints please? Then it will be emergency dash to hobbycraft with fingers crossed they have them - school fair on Wednesday and I thought these would go well as low cost! HELP!!

Emma, I used a 2" scalloped and a 1 1/2 " plain for mine. Got them from grafton crafts, they were delivered next day.

If anyone uses scal for the cricut i found a great free font a while back that is the nesties labels, circles etc , no longer have the link but can email if anyone wants it :-)

They dont have those sizes!! Ill try tracking them down on ebay - they seem to mainly be 2.5" the scalloped, not 2" - I wonder if that'd make a massive difference?! I guess it would to the bags!

Emma, maybe change the bags instead of the punches? I did see further back that someone had put four covered ES mints in a normal size cellpohane card bage instead of pretzel bags and they looked just as effective.. it would be a shame for you to have re do everything.

hi all hope your all feeling festive and getting along with your crafting, i have made a start on place names for christmas day, done 3 stockings and various other bits.

mug for my cousin, tea bags from samples i got online just cellophaned them to keep them fresh and going to add some choc coins then cellophane over it all.


tea sets for my sons great nana and my friends mum. they were on sale at ethel austins, so just put tea bags in (again from samples online) and some roses and a hand made tag saying "time for tea"


my uncles humbugs, in the end just put them in a jar (jar from asda think they were on 3 for £2) got ribbon and a bow to jazz it up a bit and a tag saying "bah humbug".

flying pig and other posters, thank you for all your inspiration i never would have done anything like i have done with these, i now feel they are more personal.

2 inch scallop in stock here but they do take abit longer to reach you - a couple of days so might not get to you in time.

also stockings, for my son, and my mum and dad for a few of their smaller presents. stockings were 97p from wilkos and embelishments off ebay.

thanks again to flying pig for this idea
