    babyrut, I think the cakepops are adorable but am too MSE to spend £15 on a kit. Having said that, if they were priced at £12 (or 2 for £20) I could see myself buying them and could definitely see others buying them too :)

    I should have said in my previous post, the price is to change to around the £12 mark and are on ebay at the moment for £12.50, plus £3 postage. I have managed to get some of the contents a lot cheaper hence reduction in price. Was thinking of doing two for xxx aswell especially if selling at a craft market or somthing. Thank you for your comments. x

  • oh yay Babyrut - glad to have helped! I've also reserved one to use in a movie hamper for friends so hopefully they'll be good. I really like the bright funky colour, should make a lovely present :)

    I would be grateful for any ideas for a family present which includes five girls aged 15, two 12year olds a 9 year old and a 18 month old, I
    have already done a family night in hamper.


    Sorry if suggested but what about a 'Baking Hamper' with aprons bowls spoons and recipes. Or a gardening hamper with trowls knee pads and seed etc (tesco had lots of kids gardening stuff reduced. I expect most of the larger stores will be the same).

    hi,
    does anyone have any present ideas for a 12 year old boy and a 15 year old boy please ?

    it would be really helpful as i am stuck for this year !

    thanks

    They like toiletries by this age. Wallet? Passport cover (you may think that unusual but mine needs his PP to get into the cinemas sometimes!). I-Tunes card. Manicure set (again unusual but mine use nail scissors, nail clipper and tweezers on their 'monobrow'!:rotfl:)
