    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • I love the idea of the charity pins, any idea if the RSPCA have charity pins? looking through their website I cant find any charity pins on there... I think I need a shopping day to Bedford to their pound shop that was a bargain you found there Krystaltips...

    Home Bargains were selling 2kg tubs of Lindt foil wrapped mini eggs for £6.99. I don't think they're too Eastery and would look nice in a little organza bag.

    the RSPCA do do charity pins. They either do paw prints in lots of colours or various animals.
    I think they are only available from their shops though. My friend works in our local shop I'll try and remember to ask her.

    I also saw RSPB ones in a shop a few days ago but I can't remember where I was at the time :o

    I've just surrendered and bought my favours - there is just NOT enough hours and days left I'm afraid...
    Just Willows do bath bombs in heartshapes and little soap stacks too - I asked her to make them match my colourscheme and in my favourite scent which is rose and she was very happy to oblige and it worked out very cheap too! 160 items for £40 plus postage. That's 80 of each so one of each item per guest (both day and evening) and I'll put them in little bags with a tag on. So about 60p per person including the bag :) bargain!

    They look gorgeous Tine.

    Can you let us know what they like when they arrive - think I might order some and use them as table decorations which the guests can then take home

    I'm doing chocolate balls in net - the old traditional, i've also gone for seeds in an envelope.
    Another option could be a book marker i saw some beautiful woven ones in The Works for 99p each, i was tempted then reality struck that i've already got mine sorted.
  • for my mums wedding she got some netting from her local franklins along with some ribbon and she brought a big box of sugar coated almonds and mint imperials . She cut loads of circles out of the netting filled some with the almonds and some with the mints and tied them up with the ribbon! you could also add name tags if desired totally up to you but fun to make! get a few girly friends round n do it together goes great with a glass of wine! hope this is a help!

    My oh wants Kinder Eggs now which I think is a gret idea :) My Mumalso suggested making up little party bag type things using netting or florist's cellophane tied with a ribbon containing little toys, retro sweets, party blowers etc.

    Yay for kinder egss lol. Although I don't think the prizes are as good as they used to be when we were kids... Nearly bought my daughter one in the chemist yesterday actually but it turned out she was asking for her blankie not a sweetie... so I didn't bother lol.
