Personalising stuff for 4 year olds birthday party

My little boy is 4 in March and his party is booked.

I'm planning to personalise bottles of pop with a picture of Thomas the Tank/James the Red Engine etc and also put chocolate bars in the party bags with messages on them saying 'thank you for coming to my party etc'. Got the idea for the chocolate bars from ebay and the pop is one of my brainwaves (must have been having a good day).

All I need to find now is the cheapest fruit shoots type drinks and a chocolate bar that has an outer wrapper that I can remove just leaving silver foil - was going to use milky bars but they have changed the packaging and I'm not sure what packaging is on a two finger kitkat at the moment.

Any suggestions any one.

Thanks everyone - will pay a visit at the weekend to Aldi and Lidl. I remember the animal choc bars too and I think I saw some in FarmFoods so will go there too.

    I get 2 fingered kit kats every week from Morrisons, they are red outer paper wrapper silver foil inner. I don't know if they still sell those Cadbury's animal choc bars 4 in a pack, they were animal picture outer and purple foil inner (I loved those)LOL, I always thought they were great for little ones.
    Fruit shoots I'm sorry I can't help with, my 2 are quite old now.
  • Lidl and Aldi do great wee bars of chocolate (40g) in white or milk @ 5 for £1, kids love them. I think Aldi do bottle of juice but I don't know how much, sorry.

    Lidl also do their own versions of fruit shoots which are much cheaper than fruit shoots themselves.

    You can print out personalised chocolate wrappers. Google printable chocolate wrappers.

  • Three packs of 8 fruitshoots at Morrisons for a fiver.
  • If you are still looking Asda have an offer on 10pack of 2fingered kitkats. Buy 4 packs for £2. 5p each can't be bad. great idea on printing the wrappers yourself. i'm just starting up in business doing this for myself, and it seems like a great idea. Good luck with yours.
  • Hi, I was in Lidl and noticed they do a 100g bar of chocolate for 25p

    Hi

    Try http://raspberryswirls.com
    They do some free printable wrappers, and they are easy to adjust to fit on choc bars. I used milky bars, and also included a ploto of my daughter.

    I have also used them as invites to my husbands birthday.
