Every Christmas I make a special gift for someone who loves chocolate bars. In the past I have made a miniature chocolates wreath, sledge, bouquet and hamper. I'm thinking early for ideas I know but with the school holidays coming up, I can crack on and give any ideas a go. Has anyone made anything for wrapped chocolate bars that's WOW and unusual please?

    In the past I have printed my own personalised choc bar wrapping. Taken the original one off. Wrapped in foil and put a gift voucher or token for cinema etc . Before putting the personalised wrapper on.

    I made sweet trees by using toffee bars and bending bars. I also made a layered Christmas tree using small bars and a cone shaped polystyrene . Layering the bars.

    I also made a tool kit using a tool / craft box and putting choc bars inside.

    If you want to sell on at craft fairs how about mini cdm miniatures in a cello bag suitably dressed.

    Try goo g ling choc bar ideas or p interest . Some interesting things can be found
