    Ooo how exciting.

    I'm going to Ikea tomorrow to buy some cheapy furniture for our brand new flat (hurrah!) so will definitely pick up a few of these. Maybe I'll even decorate one for our wedding in January (or do you think that's a bit tacky!)

    Oh might have a go at making my own small ones but with chocolate not ginger. I will practise at home and if I can do it I will make two for my niece and nephew to decorate - will make the perfect activity during the christmas holidays.
  • If you can't get to Ikea, Lidl are doing Gingerbread house kits complete with all the sweets and christmas figures for £4.99

    sorry ,moneysavingmumofone,
    i wont be back at ikea now till the new year. To be honest though i dont think you would recieve the gingerbread through the post in one piece.:confused: even with extra packaging! maybe the lidl option would be more convenient for you.:beer:

    I know I'm late in finding this but these are lovely. I have decided that this year we will have a family party for my side of the family, with DH family we spend lots of time together. There are 5 children involved, various ages from 2-10 and I decided that we would have an activity for them as it will make the afternoon go easier. These look perfect for the children to do thanks again everyone.
