hillfamily Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thank you Last year I started to make all my pressies (mainly foodie things) and I have to say I thoroughly enjoy it :D Much better than giving some mass produced commercial thing It started as a result of having to tighten the purse strings and there were one or two friends who I thought wouldn't appreciate a homemade gift but I have to say, apart from one , everyone has been thrilled and keep checking with me that I will be making their future pressies :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milly Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 They look lovely - much nicer than a mass-produced present from a shop. The box and ribbon also make it look very professional. Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Just to report back that they were very well received :D and even had a couple of orders for friend to give to friends and family :D Can i be your friend too???? of course you can :D - just seen you don't live too far from me I must say that your lovely home made pressies went down very well here. why thank you hun They look lovely , where did you get the box and ribbon from? the boxes are from ebay - standard white cake box, they come in lots of different sizes The ribbon comes from - http://www.creativeribbon.co.uk - they print it to order, lots of colours and fonts, is a bit pricey but gets cheaper the more you order and not that much more than some of the gift ribbons that are on the market at the mo :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It'll be for allcomers Sha - the Omlet Summer Chicken Jamboree... I've been dropping tasters, just need to get our heads together to get a date settled. It will be a cross between a Hen Party and a village fete with pony rides, hog roast, local produce stalls, cakes etc. All at the Omlet Retail Centre at Jude's yard. I will post details as soon as we've got it together; Omlet are hoping to have lots of stock there too, so that people can get an eglu or cube on the day.
