Hi thanks for your replies regarding the whisks, I am just going to pick DS3 up from school now and will have a ride into town and search. Good idea with the flake, wont have to buy them until near xmas though,as being a very organised person(not) I bought chocolates for other presents and in moment or two of desperation I have eaten them all:eek: and I wonder why I have no clothes to wear,

Why dont you buy a multi pack of flakes that way you will have some spare

These are really good, ive bought four baskets for people, i think i'll only do four. Ive gone around looking for cheap bits. Im going to mix some decent looking things at poundland and then mix some more expensive items

Can i just say WOW all these baskets are really beautiful and I would be sooo moved to recieve one @ christmas or anytime tbh xx:T

I have decide that I am going to do baskets for a lot of friends & family(in-laws) and I know my friends will really love them and appreciate the thought I have put in to them . Sadly the same can't be said for the other lot as the amount of thought i get is unless it can be bought in the weekly shopping then they get stuck for ideas (but thats a whole other story and moan ):(

Anyway moving on i see someone mentioned Chocolate Dip Sticks - £1 for 2 - where can i get these from ??

I have got some baskets and have got quite a few things already just need to get them arranged etc. but have no room to do yet and don't think they will be good enough to post pics

Just wanted to say that all the baskets are brilliant and keep up the hard & good work and keep these ideas etc coming they are fantastic :T.

Just to let you all know an idea I had ... Tesco are selling little mini bars of Green and Blacks 35g, a nice size to try out the flavours and so I bought 3 flavours (66p each) and little organza bags from ebay with silver stars all over, popped them in a bag and wella! Looks fab, would make a nice little gift for teachers, friends mums, babysitters etc etc..

Not sure I can post the ebay ID I got the bags from but if anyone wants it pm me!

3 bags - 99p.
3 bars choc - £1.98

Cost each bag - £2.31

I would post a pic but don't know how

I saw a pack of 8 for £4 in Boots, and you could get them on their 3 for 2 gifts offer

I tried one of the Starbucks mallow twizzlers today OMG!! I was in heaven, BUT thought they must be easy to make, stick 3 marshmallows on a lolly stick, cover in plain chocolate and roll in chocolate shavings

They sound lovely

If you have quite a few to do, it might work out cheaper buying the Green & Blacks Miniature boxes on the 3 for 2 at Boots, and splitting them up, rather than buying the individual bars.

ooh!

if you get those packs of 12 bars fo £3.33 on offer and put those in a gift bag or hampers etc, they would work out very reasonably - thanks for that!
