LOW COST homemade christmas gifts

pinknfluffy28

Last years snowman soups (or 2 of anyway) hoping to have this years done by end of Nov.


And a small choccie boquet I made for dh. This was my first attempt and not brill. I am doing choc sleighs this year instead - much easier!


Chocolate sleigh (not made by me though!)

Also working on transforming some old cross stitch cards I made for each of my dd's last year,(xmas tatty teddy designs) into diary front covers.
Have also just about finished my baking and science hampers (not quite home made but equally well received as so much thought goes into a personal hamper!)

Will post more photos when Ive finished

Love the bouquets pinkness fluffy and I think those sleighs are great I make them as standby presents
They don't cost too much and are better than a selection box

Pinknfluffy28- I saw those sleighs elsewhere. How are you going to make them in chocolate - will you still use the candy cane sticks? Thanks.

I am planning on making them pretty much as per the picture, but will use whatever chocolates are on offer at the time! The candy canes are a must!
I'm good but not that good, but there is no way I could make a whole sleigh out of chocolate lol! They're just called chocolate sleighs, cos its a sleigh full of... yep you guessed it! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
I am now on the look out for the little mini chocolate santas to sit on the front x

There are little Santa's in the 99p stores, however if the choc is anything like the halloween stuff last year (little net bags of ghosts etc) steer well clear. I think I saw some Santas in Sainsbobs though.

finally found some glue dots and have stuck santa in place. Its a 99p store one but i ain't eating it lol

I used 4 finger kit kat, lidl hazelnut wafer chocolate bar, turkish delight bar, tic tacs, milky bar at the back, candy canes and a chocolate santa.

That looks lovely! I think I will use glue dots too, much easier and nicer finish than tape.

Meg72 - The labels are home made, I just drew the little snowmen on and wrote poem with sharpies!

Thanks all for tips on choc santa's. I'm on a nsd today but will try and pick some up over the weekend x

Personalised coffee cups

I made these today and they work out so cheap for little effort, was thinking of putting snowman soup in or shall I just leave them separate?



Wow, this is amazing! Is there anything you can use to make it coloured so say you could write something in blue or something, alas I does it wash off after a while? Thanks x
