Couldn't decide to put this in the Christmas thread or here. Anyway, I have been putting together gifts for my two young nieces. I usually buy them books or craft things, this year its a children's cookery book each with a little bookmark with their names on inserted on a particular page. One is for cookies so I've added the ingredients plus cookie cutters, chocolate drops etc. The other one is for cup cakes, so in goes paper cake cases, raisins, decorations etc. Didn't cost much but I'm quite pleased with the results. Much nicer than expensive plastic toys that they already have too much of anyway. Hope my sister approves, she doesn't like cooking much!
