    Each to their own.


    My friend's son won't eat sweets or chocolate and loves fruit so I don't see why not.
    He was given 14 Easter eggs and they weren't eaten but he loved the fruit basket.

    I bought a millie cookie the other day for the first time it was meant to be praline and hazlenut it was bland.The photo of the cookie looks good though.It is alot of money to buy your childs friend a cookie would understand if it's your child you're buying for but not someone elses kid would just buy them a small one and something else.

    Our school friends all pop £5 in the BD card so the child can go out and buy a 'big' pressie later.

    The cookie looks nice, but is rather expensive. Thortons probably do something which can have the BD child's name put on, but cheaper.

    If you made your own giant cookie you'd probably be able to do it for a fiver, and you'd be able to monitor the ingredients so there's no nasties in there?

    Millie's Cookies will let you alter the ingredients, if you need too.

    I love them. I'm 21 and they are a guilty pleasure. Everyone else will benefit too, as I'm sure the child will share, and it's a unique idea...

    I'd go for it. Just remember to get a Millie's bag, they are v.popular too!

    I have given these as gifts before, they are absolutely gorgeous! But if they are going to a party, is the cookie a best thing to give since they will already have a ton of chocolate and cake there?
