    I love the gingerbread man idea! Done anther version for a gingerbread woman (great for giving to guys)

    The perfect woman is hard to find
    I haven't heard of one before
    So heres the very nearest thing
    and shes delivered to your door

    She won't moan at you to tidy the house
    Or when you watch footy on TV
    And she won't go mad when you've left the lid up
    when you were having a wee

    Shes small and gentle and sweet
    and wont mess with your head
    and if she gives you any trouble
    Just eat her up instead!!

    :rotfl:
    You're so very special, I wish I was special :dance:

    Can anyone think of a good poem/verse and the contents of a smallish box that i could send to my auntie?
    Shes recently been diagnosed with cancer and by christmas will be well into her chemo so i'd like something that shows im thinking of her.

    Nothing too serious or religeous. ;)

    so sorry to hear about your auntie Rasmus. maybe you could adapt a guardian angel kind of idea, but with something a bit christmassy, like, make a guardian snowman or something? and then put a poem in, something like.....

    A man made of white, is watching you tonight,
    He's a little chilly, but he's keeping you in sight,
    For he knows you are down, but not quite out,
    And he knows you need cheering up and so hes here to shout

    A Merry Christmas to you, and heres to a better New Year
    Just keep smiling through, and know I am near
    For whenever you need me, you just need to ask,
    and I'll come running with some brandy in a flask!

    dont know if its what you're looking for :o
    You're so very special, I wish I was special :dance:

  • I Love this idea, thankyou for sharing it

    Just remembered a poem that was great for grandparents/god parents etc for your little ones to make.

    You use black card and white paint and paint as the poem describes :)
    and have lots of fun too :)

    This little angel is special you see
    Because she's a small part of ME
    Her wings are my hands.
    her body my feet.
    A splodge for her head which really looks neat.
    Her halo shimmering with glitter and gold.
    I hope you'll agree she'll never be sold.

    The Perfect Man

    The pertfect man is hard to find
    I know because I've looked
    So I give to you the very nearest thing
    and he's tastier than he looks

    He won't moan at you when you go bootsing
    He wont be interested you see
    For he really is the perfect man
    I think you will so definately agree

    For he's quiet and he's sweet
    and no trouble will he be.
    But just in case he his
    You can dunk him in your tea.

    Enjoy your perfect man!

    This might be a bit 'off-topic' but I find that a simple effective gift with a poem is always best
    last year for my mother and her partner i wrote my own poem....found a beautiful picture and put the poem onto the picture (using the pc) printed it and framed it.....
    the frame only cost a quid and the paper and ink was even cheaper

    Thanks for reviving this thread, I've been searching for the box of hugs
    My sister's birthday is coming up and I know she would love this. We are very close but since i moved abroad 10yrs ago we don't get to see each other very often.
