Thanks to Passion8 for giving me this idea, have expanded on your suggestion Hun. Sorry not a great pic but you get the general idea. My family will really think I have lost the plot now-cutting out paper and colouring it in lol

This is for my Nephew who is 13 next week here is pic unwrapped

If it's purely chocolate (say a dairy intolerance) they can't have, then Woolworths have easter jellies and marshmallows that are all individually wrapped (in a multipack), and boiled-sweet type rabbit lollies (on really long sticks - would be great for one of the sweet bouquet things), and Sainsburys do small square tubs of wine-gum type jellies.

If it's sweets in general that are the problem, then craft items would cover most age groups, a basic farm set (you know the sort, a tractor, couple of fences and some animals) would do for littlies and still be easter/spring-ish, toiletries/haircare or a scrapbooking/diary type of setup for older girls, some type of basic construction kit for the older boys.

You could get some of the hollow plastic eggs that everywhere seems to sell for hunts, and fill them with the items to make it more eastery and the hat would look just like a basket of eggs if you finished off with some shredded tissue.

earthmother You're so creative, and what I clean forgot was ....two of the recipients are teenage boys but thank you so much for the reply

I need to drastically rethink at least two of those bonnets, or I'll be getting some very strange looks

(I'll try to post a picture of a free box that my oh 'begged' today :eek: lol, but if it doesn't work, I'll delete this part ) I also need to cover up the 'bonnets' that's printed on it, but I'll get there eventually - I hope!

If anyone follows the link (if it appears on the last pic, they'll see versions of the popcorn boxes I mentioned, and a couple of other pictures.)

If not, and anyone's interested, I'll post them up seperately
