Honeydukes is the sweet shop at Hogsmead (the magical village in Harry Potter). I have got a cardboard box that is stamped 'by owl post', and I have made some labels on the computer to re-label various different sweets as the sweets mentioned in the Harry Potter books (had to use some artistic license for some of them, lol).

So I have Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans (Jelly Belly Beans), Fizzing Whisbies (Flying Saucers), chocolate wizarding money - gold galleons, silver sickles, bronze knuts (chocolate coins), chocolate mice (couldn't get frogs), butterbeer (small bottle of pop), licorice wands, invisible mints (Fox's Glacier Mints), chocolate golden snitches (Ferrero Rochers with the little brown case and label carefully removed, just leaving the gold foil), stinging basilisks (super sour snakes) and magic dust (popping candy).

I've taken them out of the original packaging and made small packages of each (didn't want him to have TOO many sweets...lol), wrapped them in brown paper, and stuck the new labels on.

Hope he likes it!

Snaggles, what a fantastic idea! Thats just fab. Ryan will love that. I think you win the prize for most inventive gift! Thats the kind of present that he'll talk about for years xx
