Making your own "selection box"

3K Posts
My children don't eat sweeties that often but I don't mind at christmas, however I find the big commercial chocolate selection boxes contain sweets that are too big for them (i.e I have a 2 year old and would never let her eat a whole full sized chocolate bar). I would like to try and make something up myself but am not sure how to go about it, has anyone got any imaginative ideas for presentation and contents, I am thinking it might be a good value way to bulk out their stocking. My children are 2 and 6.
Thanks

i've also never bothered with wrapping them up (bad mother....lol) and they have always been happy.
i'm sure someone who is more creative will be along soon with some presentation suggestions :-)
You should also be able to get various sweets/chocs in multipacks (even BOGOF offers possibly) far far cheaper than buying a selection box, as they are almost always way overpriced for what you really get!

Jelly babies or jelly tots. They come in quite small amounts.
You could put the little packets in a jar and let them choose from the sweetie jar. If they get them in a stocking ,they are likely to eat the whole lot at that age.
The seals are really heavy for little fingers to undo, so they would need help to take out their daily treat.;)
The Easter bunny could fill it up and recycle it as an Easter gift later on.......:p
Now that is clever, thanks ever so much
Thanks to everyone for all of the ideas.
