12 Twelve Days Of Christmas Box Ideas.

mirandamayhem

a wee idea yesterday came to mind. I found in poundland an edith piaff cd, ok it's only one french hen, but that will be my day 3 gift!
also five gold rings, how about wine charms? you can find some quite nice cheap and cheerful ones on ebay. or napkin rings?

4 calling birds...birds custard? It has the little bird symbol.
Lords and pipers hmmmm. Lords as in House of? HP sauce? A little stretched but funny? Pipers..... http://www.piperscrisps.com/ 11 packets?

It's a great idea, twelve days of christmas. If you could manage it in under a fiver you should put it up for the competition :-)

Just wanted to bump this idea up as I think it's fab! Any ideas? I thought Lords a Leaping could be a voucher for "Go Ape" but am finding a lot of the twelve quite challenging........

Hi density

Havn't got any set ideas but "food for thought"

Calling Birds - "Avon Calling", Pidgeon Post, Parrots
Lords a Leaping - Riverdance
Pipers Piping - 10 Sweet Pipes in a box, find box of toffee etc with pic of Scottish Piper on front.

What a good idea Dundeedoll. I did the twelve days of Christmas for my Mum and MIl a year or so ago and they loved it. I followed the actual twelve days theme from the hymn. Your idea could be adapted much more easily for my husband so I might give that a go for next Christmas.

Don't know if this is of any use to anyone but as soon as I saw the eleven pipers piping , maybe a piping kit for baking maybe? Can get relatively cheap ones

pipers idea- I've got magnets on my fridge that I started collecting when I lived down south - Teddy bears dressed up as if in a scottish pipe band!!! I have some pipers , drummers and the band leader!!! They gave me fun and moments of light relief in my office when i needed it!
